Mick Schumacher had an ugly separation from Haas in 2022. The American team announced that they are not renewing Mick’s contract for 2023 ahead of the Abu Dhabi GP. Although since then, there are rumors emerging that Haas never approached Schumacher with concrete talks on his future.

Mick Schumacher had a topsy-turvy 2022 season with multiple crashes and DNFs. Though he scored points at some races and was quite competitive in the mid-field, it was not enough for Haas. Most probably his crashes and inconsistency are the main reason behind Guenther Steiner choosing Nico Hulkenberg over him.

As BILD reports, there are speculations that Haas never had any concrete negotiations with Mick over his contract renewal. This can be shocking to some extent and contrary to what Haas has stated so far. If they did not have any major negotiations, then their decision to drop the young German was probably made up already.

In addition to this, the BILD reports also say that Mick may have found out about his eviction from Haas in a hotel lobby. That is certainly not the best way for a driver to know that he may be out of a drive next season. Now, these are unconfirmed details regarding the Schumacher-Haas split. Although if there is any weight to them, we might hear from Mick if he divulges anything on the same.
