Mick Schumacher case
Günther Steiner contradicts: “That’s not true”
Since Mick Schumacher's dismissal from the Haas Formula 1 team, then team boss Günther Steiner has had to put up with accusations that he deliberately wanted to force the German out of Formula 1 for personal reasons. "That is not true," the South Tyrolean now clarified to RacingNews365.
Steiner's decision to kick Mick out of the team and sign his twelve-year-older compatriot Nico Hülkenberg in return had caused quite a stir in 2022.
"It will be difficult for him"
However, Steiner is not prepared to accept accusations that he has not given the son of record-breaking world champion Michael Schumacher adequate support - even though he is well aware that Schumacher's chances of returning to the premier class of motorsport are not exactly promising. "It will be difficult for him to find a place, but I think it would be good because he wants to prove something," said Steiner, who also had to pack his bags in January 2024.
However, the 59-year-old admits that bringing two rookies into the team in 2021 - Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin - was not the smartest move. However, as Mazepin's father generously supported the racing team financially, Steiner's hands were tied. "I did what I had to do."
