Steiner Displeased With Mick Schumacher as Haas F1 Streak Continues at Monaco GP

The Haas of Mick Schumacher took center stage in an incident at Monaco Grand Prix. We saw a red flag even before the race began, thanks to the rain. The delayed and rolling start was the outcome of the heavy rain. And the weather was definitely deciding a factor in the race.

The race was memorable, to say the least, but not for the right reasons. The classic in Monaco saw big crashes and interruptions, but hardly any overtaking maneuvers.

Haas boss not satisfied with Mick Schumacher

Mick Schumacher made the biggest and loudest headlines in the 2022 classic in Monaco. Even though there were plenty of incidents throughout the race. But nothing can trump Mick’s crash, which caused the red flag and a restart of the race.

This incident on top of the consistently poor performances is not a good sign for the German. This is his second year in the premier class of racing competitions. And so far, Mick is not convincing anyone of his qualities as a racing driver, especially his team boss.

Haas’s boss Günther Steiner is not satisfied, and he mentions it, “It’s not very satisfying to have another serious accident. We have to see how we can continue now.” This is a serious statement from the same man who showed confidence in the rookie driver last season.

But after one poor performance after the other and no points scored so far, Mick’s in hot water. And his massive crash is not helping the case. The crash dismantled the car in two and for a money-strapped team like Haas, this is especially frustrating.

And the Haas VF-22 cannot be blamed and Mick’s teammate Kevin Magnussen is proving it. Magnussen has already scored points in three races. But Mick’s not looking anywhere close to finishing in points, a scenario that needs to change ASAP.

Russell: The constant in an inconsistent Mercedes

Russell has been incredibly consistent in his first year at Mercedes. The worst possible time to join Mercedes with probably their biggest challenge in years. But the young Briton is not letting that stop him from delivering for the team.

“There are definitely a lot of positives from this race,” said the 24-year-old post-race. With a P5 in Monaco, Russell is extending his run of top-five finishes to seven races now.

However, the Mercedes is still far from competing with the leaders Red Bull and Ferrari. And that is exactly where the Brackley-based team wants to compete.
