Toto Wolff on Guenther Steiner's treatment of Mick Schumacher: “He comes from the mountains!”

Schumacher will be ditched for next season by Haas, and replaced by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg, after a year where he was repeatedly cr🐼iticised by team principal Steiner.
His exit comes with the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up complete, so ꦛSchumacher will not be on the⛦ grid next year.
Mercedes boss Wolff criticised Steiner’s handling of the driver: “That's his management style. 🐼He comes from the mountain, t𝔉he air is thinner there. You can't always think so well.
“It's authentic - and I've already seen that this style can work. Differ𒈔ent paths lead to success.”
Mercedes have a vacancy for a reserve driver role which Schumacher could fill. His iconic father 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher ended his career with the team.
“He deserves a place on tཧhe grid and not as a test driver," said Wolff.
"Maybe there is an intermedi𓄧ate step in which we play a role.

"The Schuไmacher family is closely linked to Mercedes. David drives for Mercedes, Ralf drove for Mercedes and also Michael. And Mick is German.
"He fits well. I think he deserves a place in F1. We have to see if we can do something.
"We have seen it before with drivers who took a gap year. There are also testing opportunities and you work together with engineers. It is a compleꦅtely different kind of effort than what he is used to. You then form a different view of things and you build up a lot of experience."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher, Mick’s uncle, said: "That would be a great solution for Mick. He 🧸could lea♊rn so much in a team like that.
"Drivers like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon have shown that after a year off, you can come back to Formula 1 with♓ a fresh perspective and more experience."
Mick Sch⛎umacher said at the weekend: “Mercedes is an awesome brand, genuinely, what they have achieved in Formula 1 is incredible. So you know I’m going to see my options, and Mercedesไ is part of that.”
