“Mick has the Schumacher genes”

“What the hell was that? Honest? Seriously? Does he want to kill us?" the 22-year-old swore on the pit radio for everyone to hear. The Russian's dangerous maneuver in the final meters of the last Formula 1 race in Azerbaijan caused a lot of discussion. However, newcomer Schumacher has now put that aside – and is concentrating on the next task. “You have to get yourself into a state in which you can perform at 100 percent at all times,” said the rookie before the seventh race of the season on Sunday (15 p.m.) in Le Castellet, France. As one of only seven drivers, he has brought his racing car to the finish line every time so far, but it wasn't enough for points in the US team's inferior car. “It’s super important to drive a lot of kilometers, so I’m happy that we made it to all the races.” Mick Schumacher And even if it won't be enough in the coming weeks, the first few weeks make the rookie happy. “It’s super important to drive a lot of kilometers, so I’m happy that we made it to all the races,” said Schumacher. Even more important: He is superior to Masepin in the internal duel. Most recently in Baku he intercepted him shortly before the finish line and came 13th, and the unnecessary steering maneuver didn't help the Russian in the end. While Masepin was constantly criticized for his driving style, there was almost nothing but praise for the son of Formula 1 record world champion Michael Schumacher. Gerhard Berger praises Mick Schumacher “Mick has clearly shown that he has Masepin under control and has worked his way into the number one position,” said ex-Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger in the AvD Motor und Sport magazine Sport1 : “Mick has the Schumacher genes. You can see that. Masepin will not beat Mick Schumacher. Nevertheless, Masepin does his job.” “You have to avoid things like that.” Günther Steiner on the incident in Baku After the incident in Baku, there was an internal team discussion with the two newcomers. “You have to avoid things like that. If it goes wrong, it goes really wrong,” said Haas team boss Günter Steiner, indicating that the action could have ended in a serious accident. But now everything has been clarified, the 56-year-old emphasized: “You both have to learn how to react to it.”

“Mick has the Schumacher genes”

It takes a lot to upset the otherwise level-headed and polite Mick Schumacher. But a dangerous twitch from his teammate Nikita Masepin at more than 300 km/h was too much.
