During the press conference leading up to the Italian GP, Mazepin addressed the situation at Haas. “Steiner spoke to me and Mick after holland. We discussed the rules of engagement again. I don’t want to say what we said to each other, but I can tell you I’m not on the bad list.” (Translated via Google Translate)
Steiner and Schumacher haven’t been on the best terms either; the boss and the driver have been having problems with the other’s comments. However, will the heat at Haas make things more difficult for Mick? With Mazepin implying that he is not in the wrong, Schumacher may want to make amends with his colleagues.
Steiner supports Nikita Mazepin
While neither driver has met Guenther Steiner’s expectations, it looks like Steiner is siding with Mazepin for this issue. After a heated exchange between drivers, Steiner spoke to the press in Holland.
With regard to the minor collision in Zandvoort, Steiner said: “You can avoid danger. I don’t think it was a nasty move, to be honest. I looked at this scenario and it takes always two to tango.”

While Mick hasn’t commented on the meeting yet, Mazepin’s insinuation rings loud and clear.
It isn’t unusual for teammates to feud with each other; however, both the drivers are almost always fighting for P19. Therefore, they are ruining the prospects of good teamwork, for themselves and for the team as a whole.
