Although, now with the decision done to replace Mick; fans have expressed their disappointment over Haas. Many people say that replacing a young talent like Schumacher with 35-year-old Nico Hulkenberg is ludicrous. And to add to that, the public knowledge regarding the nature of Mick’s departure, the disappointment, will only multiply.
