Haas F1 Team Driver Mick Schumacher's Biggest Problem Is a Good Problem

Second-year Haas F1 Team driver Mick Schumacher is adjusting to life with a faster Formula 1 car.

And his boss, Haas team principal Gunther Steiner, says that just might be what's keeping the son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher from matching experienced teammate Kevin Magnussen's pace so far in 2022. That, and Schumacher is making uncharacteristic mistakes.

"Mick has to learn to race at the front," the Haas team principal told European media outlet Die Welt newspaper. "It's closer in the midfield. I said to him that the higher you climb in F1, the thinner the air gets."

However, Steiner thinks 23-year-old Schumacher will steadily improve and adjust. He had better, or his dreams of making it to the parent Ferrari team won't last long.
