Romain Grosjean Says Haas Gave Up on Mick Schumacher Too Quickly

• Romain Grosjean, now racing for Andretti Autosport in the NTT IndyCar Series, was ousted by Haas as the team replaced the existing lineup with rookies Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin for 2021.

• Fast forward to 2023, and the team will have journeyman Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen driving the two Haas cars.

• Hulkenberg has been essentially out of F1 full time since he lost his works Renault seat at the end of 2019.

Former Haas Formula 1 Team driver Romain Grosjean thinks the American team made the wrong call in dumping Mick Schumacher for 2023.

At the end of 2020, just after his near-fatal fiery crash in Bahrain, Grosjean—now racing for Andretti Autosport in the NTT IndyCar Series—was ousted by Haas as the team replaced the existing lineup with rookies Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin for 2021. Both of those rookies are no longer part of Haas, with the team deciding to pair Grosjean's former teammate Kevin Magnussen with 35-year-old F1 journeyman Nico Hulkenberg at Haas next year.
