After spending 2 seasons with the Haas team, Mick Schumacher parted ways with the American team last year, as Team Principal Guenther Steiner reportedly had a fallout with the driver. Meanwhile, the Italian boss recently spoke about his infamous comments about Schumacher, as he defended himself.
After a lackluster rookie season, expectations were high for Schumacher in his second season with Haas. However, he was able to score only 2 points in his 2nd season. Meanwhile, in the docuseries ‘Drive to Survive’, Haas Team Principal, Steiner was heard saying, “You can’t beat a dead horse.” Notably, this did not go down well with many fans, as Schumacher exited the Haas and joined the Mercedes reserve team.
Recently, Steinar said, “When drivers get to F1, they know what is expected from them. I normally have quite a good relationship with drivers. I treat them very respectfully... I know what they have to do. I support them. When they’ve got issues, I say call me up. If they have something to ask, they are free to call me up.”
Speaking about his comments on ‘Drive to Survive’, Steinar said, “It’s a way of saying that there is in America. but I didn’t mean that Mick was dead or something like that. Maybe it was a clumsy statement because the German translation was too harsh and direct… We said goodbye in the paddock when we arrived. I will definitely talk to him if the opportunity arises… Personally, I have no problem with the guy. The relationship was made to look worse than it was.”
