Maybe Mick Schumacher would not have crashed again, but Haas did not want to take the risk, says Guenther Steiner. F1
Haas ‘didn’t want to take that risk’ of more Mick Schumacher crashesHaas boss Guenther Steiner says Mick Schumacher may have gone on to cut out the errors, but they did not want to wait to find out.
A lot of the damage, literally, was done for Schumacher in the early stages of the 2022 campaign, namely his big shunts in Saudi Arabia and Monaco, Steiner publicly mentioning the impact on Haas’ finances as a result of these incidents. “It’s I look back, because you have to look back, but you look forward…if these things happen next year again, does it hinder us to make progress? Yes, because with the budget cap, spending money like this is basically wasted because you cannot make the car go quicker, it’s all about that.
“But in the end, we didn’t want to take that risk and we said we’ll take somebody who knows how not to do that so we can focus, when we do our budget, this is the money we will spend on development and not put it there just for crashes if they happen.”Especially earlier in the season, incidents like those in Saudi Arabia and Monaco for Schumacher were disappointing, even if the pressure of his early struggles against Magnussen probably played a part in him pushing the Haas beyond its limits.
