Schumacher, in an interview, thinks that Haas is a great first F1 team. He said, “They are not the biggest team. In return, they have a very direct line to their drivers. We are in contact very often, which is of course nice. It is also good to know or discuss what the team’s goals are. They work very well with their drivers. I also believe that a breath of fresh air will be very good for the team.”
“Hopefully that will motivate you and let us go well together. I felt at home straight away. Sometimes that takes longer. At Haas, the time had come after the first day, after the first meeting. I am happy to have stayed there. It is a good station to develop myself further.”

Schumacher thinks Alfa Romeo was in the frame but he’s ok with Ferrari’s decision. He said, “The decision was of course made together. But in the end, I have very little experience in Formula 1, and Ferrari is extremely knowledgeable. You know the business. You know exactly what is best for me.”
On Haas saying the 2021 season will be a transition year, he said, “I have to wait for the first couple of races to give an informed answer. Of course, I promise myself a lot myself. I want to get used to the team very quickly so that I feel very comfortable – and they get along with me.”
“If we can do that, the results will come. Even if it is a bridging year for us: If the option arises, the spark of luck plays along, we will give everything to then use the luck and bring the results home.”
