Ralf Schumacher hits out at Guenther Steiner again: ‘It has to be something personal’
According to reports, Haas are expected to announce the signing of Nico Hulkenberg in place of Schumacher for F1 2023.
Ralf ha🧸s been critical of Steiner and Haas throughout the year, claiming that the team boss is “never satisfied” with Mick’s performances.
“I see it as difficult for Haas to choose Mick, otherwise they would have done it long ago,” Schumacher told Sky Deutschland.
“I think the interaction in the team and the openness of Guenther Steiner – I’ll call it that polite🤡ly – doesn’t necessarily speak positively.”
“Mick has shown that there is potential but💝 no matter what he did, the team and Guenther Steiner were never satisfied with it. Thisꦆ behaviour cannot be explained with normal standards. It almost has to be something personal.”
Schumacher suggested that the additional attention Mick receives - being the 🌺son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher - is anꦇ issue for Steiner.
“I believe that Guenther Steiner cannot deal with the fact that someone elඣse is the focu at Haas. He’s very, very happy to be the one front and centre.”
He added: “You can’t call it personnel management. You have to motivatꦓe your employees.
“He’s under constant pressure not to make any mistakes, otherwise he can’t continue to work for Ha𒈔as.
“When you’re under that♋ kind of pressure, you can’t drive freely.”
