Haas driver Mick Schumacher is gearing up for the 2022 F1 season, his second with the team. Haas had some major issues with their 2021 car which saw the two drivers struggling at the back of the grid. Schumacher recently announced that the new car is looking “very positive” and the team will hopefully make a strong comeback.

Schumacher burst onto the big scene with high expectations. Though there were some impressive performances along the way, he couldn’t escape the shortcomings of the Haas car. Schumacher stands with no F1 points after his rookie season with a 19th place finish in the drivers’ standings.

Schumacher recently made an honest statement about the competitive spirit in today’s F1. In a recent interview quoted by Motorsport, the German driver said it would be arrogant of him to think he can win a race in a Mercedes car. “I think everyone deserves their place in Formula 1. You can only tell if you can win a race in a Mercedes when you get behind the wheel of that car. It would be arrogant to me to think it would.”
