Because of his nephew: Ralf Schumacher attacks Günther Steiner

Mick showed that he had potential, but you always had the feeling that the team and especially Günther Steiner were not happy with it, no matter what Mick did, the 47-year-old told the TV station Sky , where he works as an expert.

“The whole behavior cannot be explained by normal standards; it almost has to be something personal. I think that Günther Steiner cannot cope with the fact that someone else in the team has the focus on himself. “He really likes to be the one in the foreground,” said Ralf Schumacher, criticizing the team boss of the US racing team. “He really likes to be the one in the spotlight.” Ralf Schumacher about Günther Steiner According to media reports, the contract of Mick Schumacher, son of Ralf's brother and record world champion Michael Schumacher, which expires at the end of the season, will not be extended after two years. In place of the 23-year-old, his compatriot Nico Hülkenberg (35) will become the second Haas driver alongside the Dane Kevin Magnussen.

“I think if Haas wanted to choose Mick, they would have done it a long time ago,” said Ralf Schumacher. A decision is expected before the end of the season next weekend at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Meanwhile, Ralf Schumacher didn't give a damn about the team leadership of the Haas racing team. “You can’t call it personnel management. You have to motivate your employees,” said the former Formula 1 driver and six-time Grand Prix winner. His nephew Mick has to read in the media every time that he is not consistent enough.

Schumacher lacks self-criticism “I would have been happy if Günther Steiner had asked himself whether they were actually good enough as a team. How many mistakes have they made? How often did they let their drivers down when it came to their strategies?" said the 47-year-old and added: "I don't have any connection to self-criticism." Steiner, who comes from Merano and is a trained motorsport engineer, has been team boss for eight years at Haas.
