Mick Schumacher debuted in Formula One for Haas in 2021 and outpaced his colleague Nikita Mazepin significantly last year. Last year, Haas had by far the poorest vehicle on the grid. They failed to keep up with the pace throughout the season and didn’t score a single point. In addition, they had two freshman drivers in Schumacher and Mazepin on the squad. Many people were drawn to Schumacher because he excelled Mazepin by a large margin. But such is not the case this season for the German driver.
Mazepin was cut from the squad before the 2022 season. Kevin Magnussen took over as the German’s new partner, and this season has been a total 180 for Schumacher. Magnussen currently sits in 10th place in the Drivers’ Championship standings with 15 points. Schumacher, on the other hand, is now ranked 19th and has yet to create an account. This is a significant disparity, especially considering Haas’ superior mechanical package this season.
According to rumors, the German’s future in the team is being reconsidered by Haas. They may replace him before the 2023 season, and the reason they haven’t done it yet is because there aren’t any appropriate successors available. It doesn’t help that Schumacher has already lost control of his car often this season. Haas will pay a high price for his collision in Monaco last week, with some sources claiming the damage to be worth more than $1 million.
