The teammate relationship between the two Haas drivers, Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher, has hit a rough patch. Both of them have problems while driving against each other, with the most notable one being when the latter got furious with the Russian for defending his position at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

However, Mazepin feels that Schumacher did the same thing with his dangerous overtake in Monte Carlo. He feels that he is constantly attacked, and that he is at a disadvantage compared to his German teammate.

Nikita Mazepin feels that Schumacher Jr should take the handout

Mazepin believes that his Baku defense against Schumacher was nothing more than a duel, and feels the latter should get the same criticism for his overtake in Monaco at the hairpin of the track.

Speaking at the Styrian GP, as quoted by Speedweek, Mazepin said, “Those who hand out have to be able to take it. It hasn’t crashed so far and I don’t think it will either.

“As he said, everyone does his thing, he will continue to do his thing and I will do mine.” (Translated via Google Translate)
