In the world of Formula 1, as well as in that of sport in general, it has happened several times that a driver has passed from the role of ‘failure’ to a promise (or vice versa) within a few GPs, thus managing to completely change opinions in his comparisons. Currently, a similar fact is happening with Mick Schumacheronce again arrived in the points area, even at 6th placeafter his first career top-10 placement at Silverstone, right in the race preceding the Austrian one.
Yet, in the weeks preceding the double consecutive appointment that just went to the archive, there were strong indiscretions related to a contractual resolution of the German in Haas, enriched by the statements of team principal Günther Steiner, who had made it clear that he was not satisfied with the performance of his son. by Michael. As if that weren’t enough, even the teammate Kevin Magnussen he hadn’t gone too far with Schumacher, claiming how much he was “It’s difficult to be the only driver of the team to score points”.
Now, as if by magic, the performances of the number 47 have made Magnussen himself change his opinion, who at the microphones of the Bild he commented on the German’s exploit: “Mick has made a big step forward in the last two races – he has declared – I’m happy for him and for the team. We are now seventh in the constructors’ championship and we want to improve further, and for this we need two riders who can finish in the points. If Mick was faster than me, there would be no reason to stop him. I’m here to help the team, not to win the world championship. I hope to succeed one day, but I’m a team man and I’m happy with our double points, that’s why you didn’t see me hinder him ”.
Schumacher, also awarded as Driver of the Day of the Austrian GP, was also praised by his uncle Ralfalso critical of his nephew in the past: “He is strong in duels – He admitted – we have already seen this in Formula 2, and now in Formula 1 we see that he also has to practice a little. Last year it was not possible because of the car, now it is. He does it excellently, defending hard but fair. Mistakes can always happen, but now he’s doing his best “. At the team principal level, Schumacher also received congratulations from Toto Wolff, with Steiner instead reiterating the absence of problems between him and his driver.
