The Haas F1 team is finally getting what they paid for in Mick Schumacher. After a difficult first season and the first half of his second season in F1, the young German is finally steadily progressing. The young driver is feeling more confident and stronger on track, and his post-sprint race interview in Austria was proof.

However, Haas boss, Guenther Steiner does not think his aggressive attitude will be a problem in the long run. When asked, “Now that he’s feeling a little bit stronger on track, do you think we’re going to see a little bit more of feisty Mick towards the end of the season?”

“I don’t know,” said Steiner. He added, “I think we managed it yesterday (sprint) for the team the right way. You know for him it wasn’t right. We explained it to him why we did what we did and there was nothing sinister behind it.”

“And you saw today (race) when Kevin had the issue with the engine, he let Mick go because we know that Kevin was not 100% so we let him go and he fought very well.”

The Haas team order to hold position behind teammate Magnussen at the sprint displeased Schumacher. However, the incident will be long gone from Schumacher’s memory after the race result he achieved on Sunday.

Schumacher tasted blood at the British GP by scoring his first-ever points in Formula 1. Much to fans’ joy, he did it again at the Austrian GP. And despite the frustrating team orders, Schumacher kept his cool and finished P6 in Austria.

The massive confidence-boosting results are all part of a change that Steiner noticed in Canada. Steiner said, “I saw a little change in Canada. I don’t know why he was a little bit more relaxed about things and I think maybe more confident.”
