Guenther Steiner Makes a Bold Claim About Mick Schumacher

Published 11/25/2021, 4:39 AM EST

The name Schumacher brings a lot of expectations when competing in Formula One. In 2021, it is Michael Schumacher’s son, Mick, who is in his rookie year in the sport. Being the son of a 7-time world champion carries a lot of weight but Haas boss Guenther Steiner has faith that Mick will be crowned a world champion.

The German driver came into Formula One after winning the F2 championship the previous season. Having signed with Haas for his first year on the grid, Mick is also part of the Ferrari driver academy. Seeing that his father won numerous titles with the Italian team, Steiner knows that Schumacher Jr will one day claim the title.

It is understandable that the entire F1 community would like to see Mick replicate his father’s achievements in Formula One. There is one person that has complete faith in the German that he can do so, and that is team principal, Steiner.

He said, “He’s not just here to complete the 20 drivers, he is here to become World Champion. Mick has the facilities, even if it is not yet possible to say with certainty that he will be World Champion. But I do believe in him.”

The German’s rookie season on the grid hasn’t gone the way he had hoped. The 22-year-old has failed to pick up a single point, which sees him occupy the nineteenth spot in the championship.

The highlight so far has been getting his lackluster Haas car into Q2. His best finish so far was at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he placed twelfth.
