Mick Schumacher took to social media to air his disappointment with the decision but thanked the team and Ferrari for the opportunity he had. He wrote:
Mick Schumacher debuted for Haas in 2021 after winning the F2 Championship earlier. His debut season with the team, however, was disappointing as he and his teammate Nikita Mazepin struggled to find pace in the car. The season ended with zero points for the team. The 2022 season, however, had a light of hope as he partnered with Kevin Magnussen, who scored points in the very first race.
Schumacher still had a tough time scoring any points. It wasn’t until the British GP that he managed to do so, and the season was no longer a disappointment for the German.
Nico Hülkenberg to replace Mick Schumacher at Haas in 2023
After much speculation about his return, the team confirmed that Nico Hülkenberg will be replacing Mick Schumacher as a full-time F1 driver with Haas. The veteran German has had a long history in the sport, with 181 race starts with teams like Williams, Force India, Sauber, Renault, Racing Point, and Aston Martin (replacing Sebastian Vettel for the first two races this season).
Guenther Steiner believes that Hülkenberg’s experience in F1 along with Kevin Magnussen’s presence will help the team build better and bring in much better results. He said:
Steiner also stated that he has high expectations from both drivers to take the team much higher in the standings in the upcoming season, saying:
It has also been revealed that Hülkenberg will start working with the team right after the season ends. He will be involved in a Pirelli tire test, where he will be driving this year’s car along with Pietro Fittipaldi.
