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.

The Haas driver first season in F1 hasn’t been the nicest. He has finished outside the top-10 in every race till now and hasn’t been able to score a single point. At the recent French GP, Mazepin finished dead last in twentieth place.
Hence, Mazepin is hoping that the upcoming double-header in Austria fares a bit better than other races so far.
