In the opening two rounds of the championship, the Haas F1 team has earned 12 points and is in 5th place in the Constructors’ Championship – an improvement over the previous two seasons is more than apparent. But all these points were earned by Kevin Magnussen, who unexpectedly returned to Formula 1 due to known circumstances.
If we talk about Mick Schumacher, he’s still out of luck: in Bahrain he finished 11th, literally a step away from the top ten, and in Saudi Arabia he didn’t start at all, because he crashed the car in qualifying, after he had a serious accident, and the team decided not to take the risk. She has a limited supply of spare parts and if there were new problems with Schumacher’s VF-22 during the race, which took place last Sunday, the German would simply have nothing to compete with in Australia.
In any case, Mick now faces a very specific task: in Melbourne, he must try to win back and show that he can fight for points too, and not just a more experienced partner.
“The accident in Jeddah is starting to become a problem for Mick as he is now behind the rest, he has less racing experience behind the wheel of new cars. So his mistake in qualifying will have very serious consequences, which is very unpleasant,” said Ralf Schumacher, the uncle of Mick, a former Formula 1 driver and now an expert on Sky Deutschland. “But Mick should learn how to drive from Magnussen, even beyond what the car is capable of.
Kevin is a racer on a completely different level than Nikita Mazepin. So Mick has to look up to the new partner, keep up with him and eventually get faster.
