Mick Schumacher

Mick Schumacher had already had a great weekend in Austria – seventh in qualifying, 9th in the Sprint – but he saved the best to last.

Mick Schumacher - 24.5% Mick Schumacher had already had a great weekend in Austria – seventh in qualifying, ninth in the Sprint – but he saved the best to last. With a superb race performance that included some excellent overtakes, the young German brought his Haas home a splendid sixth – his best F1 result to date – beating team mate Kevin Magnussen to boot.

Mick Schumacher has questioned his team's decisions, Haas, in the sprint race for the Austrian Grand Prix. The German was defeated by Lewis Hamilton, ...

"I think it’s something to be discussed, but obviously I think the battle with Lewis was fun but in the first place it shouldn’t have happened." The Haas driver initially managed to hold off the Mercedes with the help of the DRS he received from his teammate. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton fought Schumacher for the final point.

Gunther Steiner says Haas did “completely the right thing” by keeping Mick Schumacher behind Kevin Magnussen in the Austria Formula 1 sprint, ...

“But that doesn’t make you faster, because as soon as you go in front, the other guy is nine-tenths faster! I explained to them, if you can come out after the start behind each other, the second one thinks he is faster because you are nine-tenths of a second faster because of the DRS effect. Obviously you are faster because you are in DRS. We spoke about this before the race.

Mick Schumacher said he "had the pace to be in front" after urging Haas to let him past his team mate throughout the Austrian GP sprint race.

Good job Mick, the team made two points. Team principal Guenther Steiner, however, was pleased with the result: The team discussed it, but not in time to prevent Hamilton passing Schumacher: Mick, you’re doing a very good job in this situation. Despite the team’s earlier messages, Schumacher told them again he was quicker. Just a little lift-and-coast if you think the tyres are on the limit. So he’ll have DRS now, so we should be able to pick it up. This time the team gave him a clear refusal: Despite his frustration over the team’s strategy, Schumacher was thrilled by the chance to fight with drivers from two of the top teams. “Also his energy level didn’t seem great. “I think it was do-able without any doubt because I had to, halfway down the straight already, lift to [not] get in trouble with braking.” After several such messages, Schumacher was told no swap would be arranged.

Gunther Steiner has pushed back at the notion that Ferrari will decide whether Mick Schumacher stays at Haas beyond 2023.

I don't know why the team didn't have that feeling too," said Schumacher. "Because in the end we lost points. "I will not discuss any Ferrari contracts with us," Steiner told motorsport-totall.com. "And also about any contracts between Ferrari and Mick, because I don't know them in detail anyway." The obvious conclusion is that the rift between Haas and Schumacher is now so deep that Steiner and team owner Gene Haas may be unwilling to extend his contract.

I had a bit of an engine issue all race so I was just praying to God that it wouldn’t blow up, which it didn’t, and I’m super thankful for that, that I was able to finish the race with that problem.” But then quite soon in the race I felt that it wasn’t going to be a one-stop race just because of the way the tyres were behaving. The winds were very different and very difficult to manage because they were very much cross-wind in every quick corner, so yes, it was tough out there but a lot of fun. Haas's return to the sharp end of the midfield is very welcome, especially considering they have yet to fully overhaul their 2022 package. Finally we had a bit of luck and it kind of went our way and you know, after those four, five races recently that weren’t good for us. He revealed, however, that it wasn’t a simple journey to the points on Sunday.
