F1, Gunther Steiner liquidates Mick Schumacher

“We need someone to take us higher”: the words of Haas team principal Steiner on the choice to replace Mick Schumacher

Haas team principal Gunther Steiner in an interview with Sky Sports explained the decision to say goodbye to Mick Schumacher and rely on an experienced driver like Nico Hulkenberg in this way, “In the last two years we have lost some of our competitiveness. Mick has done a good job, but we need someone to take us a little higher. We waited a little longer than normal because we didn’t know if this would be the right decision to avoid finding ourselves in 2023 with regrets, but in the end we thought it was the best one.”

Hulkenberg will already be on track for testing next week: “Thanks to Aston Martin, which has been very generous, Nico will be able to drive as early as Tuesday. We will test seat on Sunday, but I thank team principal Mike Krack because he has been fantastic in giving us this chance£.
