The Haas rookies Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin don’t share a cordial relationship and once again they have proved it after the Haas duo were involved in yet another near-miss incident at the Dutch Grand Prix.

This incident occurred a day after when the two drivers were engaged in a heart-stopping moment at the end of Q1. During the dying moments in Q1, Sebastian Vettel was preparing for his flying lap, but on the penultimate corner, Nikita Mazepin blocked the German. The Russian driver moving to the inside of his teammate, only to get in Vettel’s way.

A day later, during the main race, as soon as Mick Schumacher went to overtake his teammate, Nikita Mazepin maneuvered his car to the right that Schumacher almost drove into the pit wall.

What did Ralf Schumacher say?

“This risk that [Mazepin] is taking does not suit his talent. He seems overwhelmed and frustrated. Guenther Steiner has to intervene. Even if the money [from Father Mazepin’s] is necessary, that cannot be the price that you endanger your team,” said Ralf Schumacher.

“With this promotion, he has nothing to do with Formula 1. Such actions at high speeds are life-threatening. The team urgently needs to intervene,” added Ralf. (Quotes translated via Google)
