In Formula 1, it’s very easy to become the hero one day, and the next day you’re public enemy no. 1. Two people who have been on this merry-go-round are Haas team principal, Guenther Steiner and Mercedes reserve driver, Mick Schumacher. Schumacher was employed by the Italian engineer last year. However, very quickly, Steiner decided that Schumacher was surplus to requirements and he was promptly let go.

But with the advent of the latest season of Netflix’s Drive to Survive season, Pandora’s box for Schumacher opened. Details of how tense things were between the two were revealed, and Steiner didn’t hesitate to pin the full blame on the German driver. Many termed the whole fiasco as a case of bullying, too. You’d have expected the acrimony to have stopped as Schumacher has now moved on and is on a new journey with the Silver Arrows.

As it turns out, that isn’t the case. He was quoted as saying, in his new book, “We lose a car after five minutes and now have to build another. I cannot have a driver who I am not confident can take a car around safely on a slow lap. It’s just foking ridiculous. How many people could we employ with $700,000?,” as he described Schumacher’s Suzuka crash. All in all, he claimed the German driver costed them $2,000,000 through his off-track excursions.

Fans react as Guenther Steiner haunts Mick Schumacher again

Fans weren’t too pleased with Steiner re-hashing the whole ordeal once again. As soon as his quotes went viral, fans rushed to the social networking platform, Twitter to share their reactions. One fan even commented, “its just bullying now, gunthers a p**ck.”

Let’s take a look at just a few of the fan reactions from Steiner’s latest comments.

Fans were also very quick to point out Steiner’s hypocrisy. In the past, Haas has had a reputation of being a team with crash-prone drivers. Hence, fans were miffed to learn that Schumacher has been made a supposedly unfair scapegoat in the tumultuous history of the American team.
