Mick Schumacher narrowly missed out on World Championship points in the Formula 1 sprint in Spielberg. After thrilling duels for eighth place, he had to admit defeat to Lewis Hamilton. In the interview, Schumacher is angry and blames Haas for the missed points.
Schumacher annoyed: “That was unnecessary!”: Mick Schumacher reacted angrily to the Sky microphone after Spielberg’s Formula 1 sprint because he didn’t feel sufficiently supported by the Haas team and teammate Kevin Magnussen and already plenty during the race needed to talk on the radio. “It was unnecessary to argue that out. I felt like I was faster. I don’t know why the team didn’t have that feeling,” complained the German, who had to let Lewis Hamilton past shortly before the end after several thrilling duels.
Short, compact, clear
Haas team loses points: Schumacher urges explanations from his Haas team: “Because in the end we lost the points. I think if we had drawn each other we probably would have had more points than we have now.”
The German’s tires suffer too much: Schumacher showed a strong performance in the short race format in Spielberg. In the battle for seventh and eighth, he worked hard against stable rival Magnussen, which was bad for his tires and meant he was unable to defend himself against Hamilton to the end. In the end he was ninth – but there are only points in the sprint up to eighth place.
