During this season, Mazepin and Schumacher often competed with each other at the back of the grid. However, that didn’t stop them from bringing up their intensity as they battled each other to finish ahead.
This led them to face a few flashpoints. The most intense of them occurred in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Mazepin attempted to block Schumacher on the final straight on the last lap, drawing the ire of Schumacher, who took to the radio to express his displeasure.

Although they faced such moments, their relationship off the track seems far different. In fact, Mazepin invited Schumacher to visit his home in Sochi, a gesture which Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner appreciated. Steiner said, “I think it’s a nice gesture and I know he has some big boy’s toys there.”
However, the Russian revealed he awaits his German teammate’s response to his invitation. He said, “We need to clarify that, because I gave the invitation verbally and I haven’t received confirmation yet. I will have to clarify that.”

Meanwhile, Schumacher extended an invitation to Daniel Ricciardo
While Mazepin waits for Schumacher’s response to his invitation, the latter invited McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo to visit the Schumacher family ranch in Texas. He said, “If he wants to come by, he can.”
While their fractious relationship may take a turn for the better, their focus looks likely to remain on their on-track performance. Haas once again occupied P19 and P20 in both practice sessions earlier today, with Schumacher finishing ahead of Mazepin.
