Mick Schumacher makes mea culpa: his explanation on F1 farewell

A farewell to Formula 1, behind which there are motivations and also responsibilities.

Mick Schumacher in 2023 will not be on the grid in Formula 1 world events, as Haas has decided to replace him with Nico Hulkenberg after two seasons as a starter on the track. A decision that according to the German has distant origins, which he himself decided to address and explain.

“If I have to analyze what happened last year, I think my approach to the season was wrong,” Mick Schumacher remarked in an interview granted to the Germans of ‘Auto Motor und Sport.’ “At the beginning of the championship, in particular, I got lost in the search for the best set-up for the car.

A problem not shared by Kevin Magnussen, who scored several points for Haas while his teammate struggled. Things then changed when it was too late, however. “We started from scratch, and by the Canadian Grand Prix I was able to find settings that suited my driving style. Since then we have done nothing but improve,” Schumacher added. But the season’s crescendo ending was not enough.
