Ralf Schumacher continues to voice his dislike toward Steiner, handled the press regarding Mick. The driver has crashed his Haas in Monaco, Imola, Hungary with some considerable damage. For a financially troubled team like Haas, the reparation costs are extremely heavy. As a result, Steiner has been critical regarding Mick Schumacher in front of the press.
Ralf believes there is a manner in which Guenther Steiner must handle such situations. “I really like Guenther Steiner, but that didn’t have to be. No driver wants to read in public how his team boss criticizes him. That should be done internally.” Additionally, Ralf comments that he would have behaved differently if he was in Mick’s shoes. “As a driver, I would not have put up with it and would have grabbed him.”
Retaliating to Steiner’s comments in Hungary, Mick disparaged the American machine. Ralf comments on the situation, “Guenther Steiner would also not want Mick to call his car a “shitty car” in the press. He’s right about that.”

Concluding his remarks on the whole situation, he concludes, “Too many accidents happen, the team cannot afford that. Mick knows himself that crashing in free practice wasn’t ideal. Nor do I find that the criticism was excessively harsh. It was just communicated unhappily.” [translated using Google Translate.]
