Bernie Ecclestone lands stinging criticism at Haas F1 team over Mick Schumacher treatment
For🌳mer F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone๊ has launched a scathing criticism of Haas for their treatment of Mick Schumacher.
Schumacher, the son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael, endured two difficu🎃lt seasons at the American outfit before he was dropped at the end🐼 of 2022 as Haas opted for the experienced Nico Hulkenberg.
Several heavy crashes ultimately costed the German his F1 driveღ, acco🌱rding to ex-Haas team principal Guenther Steiner.
Ecclestone has slated Haas and claimed the team simply used Schumacher’s famous name🐎 and “were never interested” in his performances.
“Mick got lost on ꧃the wrong team with the wrong people. At Haas they took his name. They were never interested in how good or bad he was,” Ecclestone told BILD.
Schumacher acted as Mercedes’ reserve driver throughout the 2023 season and has been unable to secure a full-time seat to return to 𓂃the grid.
The 24-year-old willꦫ instead race𓆏 in the World Endurance Championship for Alpine this year, as well as continuing as Mercedes’ F1 reserve driver.
