Toto Wolff on Guenther Steiner's treatment of Mick Schumacher: “He comes from the mountains!”

Schumacher will be ditched for next season by Haas, and replaced by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg, aft𒈔er a year where he was repeatedly criticised by team principal Steiner.
His exit comes with the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up complete, so Schumacher will not be on the grid nex🌳ꩲt year.
Mercedes boss Wolff criticised Steiner’s handling of the driver: “That's his manag🔯ement style. He comes from the mo♏untain, the air is thinner there. You can't always think so well.
“It's authentic - and I've already seen tha🌸t this style can work. Different paths l💞ead to success.”
Mercedes have a vacancy for a reserve driver role which Schumacher could fill. His iconic father 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher ended his career with the team.
“He♔ deserves a place on the grid and not as a test driver," said Wolff.
"Maybe there is an interme𒉰diate step in which we play a rol𝔍e.

"The Schumacher family is clos💎ely lin꧃ked to Mercedes. David drives for Mercedes, Ralf drove for Mercedes and also Michael. And Mick is German.
"He fits well. I think he deserves a place in F1. We have to see if we can do something.
"We have seen it before with drivers who took a gap year. There are also testing opportunities and you work together with engineers. It is a completely different kind of effort than what🃏 he is used to. You then form a different view of things and you build up a lot of experienc♑e."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher, Mick’s uncle, said: "That would be a great solution for Mick. He could learn 🍃so much in a team like that.
"Drivers like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon have shown that after a year off, you can come back to Formula 1 with a fresh perspective and more💫 experience."
Mick Schumacher said൩ at the weekend: “Mercedes is an awesome brand, genuinely, what they have achieved in Formula 1 is incredible. So you know I’m going to se൩e my options, and Mercedes is part of that.”
