Gunther Steiner thinks Mick Schumacher's uplift in form was helped by the Haas F1 team calming 'unrest' from external parties Full story ⬇️
“It was also difficult for Mick at the beginning, because he was quite superior last year,” added Steiner. “And then all of a sudden he's quite inferior. I do think that has an influence on how a driver drives, how he puts pressure on himself. He had to learn that.
"I always say, 'the further up you get, the thinner the air gets and the thicker the skin you need.' Take the duel with [Max] Verstappen at Silverstone. He lost it, but that was good for him because he was able to learn a lot in the process. "The best way to do that is from the really good ones. When you fight against opponents like that, you learn quickly.
"At the back, I don't think he was able to learn that much last year about how Formula 1 works. A lot of the guys come from Formula 2 and they think they already know how Formula 1 works. But it takes time. You can't force it. It's like school: you can't learn the curriculum of four years in two days either.
"Now Mick has to learn to drive in a better car and continue to fight at the front and score points. Logically, the further up front you fight, the harder it is. That is normal. That's why I think it's good that we have reached this level now. Now we have to take one level after the other until it's normal to fight for points."
