Schumacher is not in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after his tumultuous relationship with Steiner ended꧋ in him being dumped.

The young driver was regular🐠ly criticised b൲y his team principal for the regularity of his crashes.

Schumacher will 🐲instead be Mercedes’ third driver, a 𝐆role that Steiner did not want to offer him at Haas, he told : “I didn’t ask him, to be honest.

“It’s always difficult for 🐠somebody, if you have driven for a team, to then be rel🦹egated to reserve driver. I don’t think he would be happy with that.

“He didn’t approach me about that,🥀 and I didn’t want to [discuss it].

“It’s 🧸a bit🎃 cheap to ask him: ‘We won’t let you drive the car, but would you like to be the reserve driver’.”

Schumacher added; “I’m 99 percent sure that I’ll come to every race and yes, just be around an🐠d again, position myself into a place where hopefully in ’24 I’ll be back on the grid.”

The door has been left ajar by Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff for Schumacher to eventually fill one of their full-time ♈seats.

“Just as we let Nyck de Vries go to make a career for himself, the sa𒆙me could happen with Mick,” said Wolff. “Whether it’s with our team or somewhere else. We don’t know yet.

“The most important fac🅺tor is his personality. He is a well-mannered, intelligent and talented young man. If you 🍸look at his junior career, he was very good.”
