Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, made his F1 debut for Haas this season after agreeing a “multi-year” deal with📖 the American outfit off the back of his title-winning exploits in Formula 2.

But the 22-year-old German recently in🍸dicated that his deal to continue racing for Haas in 2022 had not been finalise🍒d.

Speaking at the British Grand Prix, Steiner revealed that initial 🐲agreements are in place between Haas and Schumacher's parent team Ferrari, adding that the deal just “needs a few t’s crossed and a few i’s dotted” before it is completed.

“T🃏here’s a few things which just need to be sorted out,” Steiner explained.

“It’s a three-way contract obviously be♛cause he’s got one with Ferrari. There’꧃s needs to be a few ‘t’s crossed and a few ‘i’s dotted and then we will get there.

“Mick is right in saying he’s not signed, there is agreements in place but ♊because it’s a three-way it’s always more difficult than when it is ﷺa straightforward one-to-one contract.”

Schumacher’s work ethic and attitude have impressed Haas, despite the Ferrari junior facing the pro𝓀spect of dr💮iving uncompetitive and underdeveloped machinery throughout his rookie campaign.

Haas is set to continue with an unchanged line-up going into F1’s rules overhaul in 2022, with Steiner confirming 𒀰that Nikita Mazepin’s deal is already finalised: “Everything is signed theওre, everything is fine.”

Mazepin was always expected to be locked in to a 2022 s🐬eat given that his father Dmitry’s Uralkali company is the team’s title sponsor.
