The pressure on Mick Schumacher is growing. The son of the F1 legend is increasingly receiving criticism. Now ex-Chanpion Nico Rosberg jumps to his side and sees another culprit.

Haas boss criticized: After renewed criticism of Mick Schumacher’s race results, ex-racer Nico Rosberg sees part of the blame on team boss Günther Steiner. The Haas boss had publicly criticized Schumi Junior. “It’s difficult because your team is your family. And if she criticizes you in public, that’s not the best way for a young driver,” Rosberg told “Sport-Bild”.

“That’s part of it”: Rosberg believes that an athlete must also be able to deal with depths. “It was the first time that things got a little uncomfortable for him when it came to the media landscape. Last year it was peace, joy, pancakes. Unfortunately, it is always the case in the life of an athlete that things sometimes get more difficult.”

“Mick needs a moment of success”: Rosberg appeals to the young racing driver to stay focused and accept suggestions for improvement. “Formula 1 is so short-lived. Mick only needs one moment of success and everything is forgotten. He has to work towards that.”
