Mick Schumacher It is already the history of Formula 1. Two are the seasons that he has been a member of the Haas team as the first driver. The results have not been far from what was expected. And by 2023 he has lost his place, which will be occupied by Nico Hulkenberg.
damon hillwho was champion of the ‘Gran Circo’ in 1996, believes that his poor performance has to do with the “Pressure”. Speaking to the ‘F1 Nation’ podcast, he talked about all the looks the driver had on him: “Mick drove under enormous scrutiny from all over the world.”
“That means running under a lot of pressure and I think that in the end it affected him. In the end he has discovered that F1 is more difficult than he thought. Also, there are other aspects that you only get through experience,” he says.
And he believes that Haas will do better with Hulkenberg in the team: “He has been in this for a long time and can fully focus on giving it his all. Ultimately, the team needs riders who can do the job without generating additional stress.
Although Hill believes that his break in F1 can also affect him: “Once you have had a break it is difficult to catch up. But Nico is not under the same pressure as Mick.”
Hulkenberg left Renault in 2019 and has not been a starting driver since. He will pick it up next year with Haas at his side. Kevin Magnussen. Two veterans in the North American team.
What is clear is that the young couple formed by Mick and Nikita Mazepin it’s already history And Haas wants to change the course with two veterans in his box.
