The Red Bull Ring weekend was very special at Haas. The American team in fact scored points both in the Sprint race on Saturday, with the seventh place of Kevin Magnussenwhich in the ‘traditional’ Sunday GP, with Mick Schumacher who finished sixth at the finish, right in front of his Danish boxing mate. A result that brought peace to the team after the tensions at the beginning of the season that emerged between team principal Gunther Steiner and Schumacher himself due to the many mistakes made by the latter. In Austria some signs of nervousness actually emerged even among the pilots themselves; Schumacher in fact did not like the fact that Magnussen had not given him the way in the short race, when the German seemed to have a better pace than his teammate.
In reality, after the race, Steiner had thought of it directly to explain what had happened, underlining that it had been a decision of the team to keep the native of Roskilde in front of him. In his opinion, Schumacher was not actually faster, but simply benefited from the advantage of always being able to use the DRS. The revenge for the son of art came on Sunday, with an overtaking on the track on the twin car, also facilitated by the little resistance of K-Mag. The Dane, after the race, made it clear that there are no tensions between him and Mick and that he is willing to facilitate the life of his teammate on occasions when he turns out to be faster than him. “I won’t block it if it’s faster and I will not slow down the team – explained the Dane – I’m here to help the team, not to win the World Championship ”.
“I am very happy with the double points finish we have achieved – continued Magnussen – if I thwarted him in a hard way [Schumacher]perhaps we would not have obtained these points “. Magnussen also praised Schumacher for his recent improvements: “We are seventh in the league – he spiked – we need both drivers to perform well. It is more difficult for the team if only one of them scores points. He [Schumacher] has made a big step forward in the last two races “he concluded.
