In the sprint in Austria, Mick Schumacher just missed the points. The reason: a race strategy mistake by his team. For Sky expert Ralf Schumacher, there is obviously more behind it.
Does the Haas team boss disadvantage Mick Schumacher? Ralf Schumacher is certain: Haas team boss Günther Steiner prefers Mick’s teammate Kevin Magnussen. “Somehow Günther Steiner’s pendulum seems to be swinging in the direction of Magnussen,” says the former Formula 1 driver on “Sky” about the hierarchy within the Haas racing team. That’s not good, because Mick is the faster driver.

What prompted Ralf Schumacher to make his statement: The current reason for Ralf Schumacher’s statement: During the sprint in Austria on Saturday, Mick dueled with teammate Magnussen. But although the German Haas pilot could probably drive faster, Magnussen fought back. The teamfight thrust Mick, ultimately he was overtaken by Lewis Hamilton and ended up outside the points.
“Mick was the victim”: “Mick was the faster man, then tried to overtake. Kevin fought back. Through this in-fight, the others came closer and then Mick was the victim. That could have been solved more cleverly. Team play is a bit different, but it’s an important lesson for Mick.”
