Haas have confirmed that Kevin Magnussen is returning to replace Mick Schumacher as a teammate and replace Nikita Mazepina from Russia. The Danish racer is thus returning to Formula 1 with the team he left at the end of the 2020 season. Https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/status/1501616161301184515
Two generations of German racers will meet Sebastian Vettl and Mick Schumacher in Formula 1 next year. Michael Schumacher’s 21-year-old son will play for the Haas team in his premiere season of the royal motorsport class. On the other hand, the 33-year-old Vettel at Aston Martin is likely to start his last chapter of his Formula 1 career. "Of course, it's funny that we're racing against each other now. I never thought I would ever be able to say that," the new Haas racer said in an interview with Bild am Sonntag. "But I'm really looking forward to it." For of all the new colleagues in Formula 1, he is closest to Vettl, who is twelve years older. “The self is the one I’ve been dealing with the most
Formula 2 rivals Schumacher and Mazepin will form a racing duo of newcomers to Haas in the 2021 season, as the Americans decided to completely change the racing alliance and therefore did not renew their contracts with Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean. Mick, the son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, is a member of Ferrari’s Academy of Young Racers and a natural step forward would be to race in the future for the team his father dominated for five years (2000-2005) in Formula 1. But the 21-year-old The German gained a reputation as a slow starter in the lower categories before finally showing his quality. Coulthard believes he doesn’t have exactly that much time on his side in Formula One. "I saw him progress from the lower formulas. He is focused, perfectly physically fit
Nikita Mazepin will be racing in Formula 1 for Haas despite the latest incidents next season. This was confirmed by the American team yesterday in a press release. The Russian thus remains as a planned team-mate of Mick Schumacher. Two weeks ago, Mazepin took negative attention with an Instagram video in which we could see him touching a woman. Otherwise, two statements followed, from the affected woman, who claimed that she uploaded this video to Mazepin's smartphone just for fun, and the 21-year-old Russian apologized and withdrew the disputed video. https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/status/1341731640549240835 His Haas team condemned the case as disgusting and announced internal consequences. A conversation with Nikita was done, but this did not lead to the loss of the seat. "P
Mick Schumacher will not be putting pressure on the gas in Formula 1 races until March next year, but that doesn’t stop him from getting involved in the most frequently mentioned debates in the royal class of motorsport. Following Max Verstappn’s comment on Lewis Hamilton’s dominance, Michael Schumacher’s son has sided with the Mercedes star. “If we look at champions who have been very dominant at certain stages, there is often a risk that some things will be overlooked,” Mick Schumacher said in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. And in doing so, the 21-year-old draws on Verstappn’s statement that Hamilton’s successes are primarily related to the dominant Mercedes race car. "I have a great deal of respect for what they've achieved. I'm not frustrated that Lewis is sitting in a Mercedes. But if I'm from
Ferrari has reacted to the arrival of the budget ceiling and has already started sending important co-workers elsewhere, for example to a partner team. Thus, at the beginning of the month, it was announced that Simone Resta, head of the chassis department, will be sent to the Haas team, where he is expected to occupy a position that is yet to be defined. According to the Italian team, Resti is expected to be followed by further Ferrari colleagues in The Hague. A separate center is to be set up near Ferrari's Maranello plant for this purpose, in which the affected Ferrari employees will in the future work exclusively for Haas. "These people will work in a building in Maranello, completely separate from Ferrari. They will not have access to the Ferrari premises. It will be separate and they will stay there," explained Mattia Binotto, Ferrari's head of team. Ferrari will be due to the arrival of zg
Recall, Nikita Mazepin recently posted a video on his Instagram profile in which he groped Venezuelan model Andrea D'lVal. The event sparked a wave of outrage in the racing paddock, especially in his new team, which distanced itself from the event. There have also been hints that the Russian racer's action should cost even a Formula 1 seat. On the other hand, currently their test racer Pietro Fittipaldi has added a HaasF1 driver to the description on his Twitter profile. We are still waiting for official confirmation, but it may well be that the unwise act blocked the way for the Russian to Formula 1. The media asked about Mazepin's case
Just because he bears the famous last name, Mick Schumacher's expectations before his premiere season in Formula 1 are very special. Michael Schumacher's son has proved with his titles in Formula 3 and finally Formula 2 that he is definitely qualified in the field of sports. “In Schumacher’s way, he handled one championship after another and if he didn’t immediately win the title, he did it again to really learn that focus on the championship,” so former Formula 1 racer Gerhard Berger on Servus TV, who in the young German see great potential. "I believe he has Schumacher's genes and will make his way in Formula 1." However, the Austrian, like many before him, warns against too high expectations. “We shouldn’t force him or shove him into Father Michael’s shoes,” p
The numbers don’t always tell the truth. If we were to take as a criterion only the timeline of the test of young racers in Abu Dhabi, then Mick Schumacher’s fans should already be concerned now that he has reached the last place. But for the Formula 2 champion and his team Haas, this is completely irrelevant, as Mick had different goals on the Yas Marina Circuit track and not a fast lap time. As the only team to take part in this test, Haas focused on only one race car: for Mick Schumacher. This was his second appearance in this year's Haas VF-20 race car, as he made his first on Friday, December 11, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix free practice. Young Schumacher worked on the balance of the car in the morning and was mostly on the track with a medium C4 tire mix. He did long distances in the afternoon, pr
The time has finally come. After Mick Schumacher was supposed to compete in the first free practice at the Eiffel GP, which was canceled due to bad weather, he celebrated his official premiere in Formula 1 here in Abu Dhabi. In the final of this season, Mick competed in the first training session. for his future team Haas, where he replaced Kevin Magnussen. He drove 23 laps, the fastest in 1: 41.235 minutes. With that, he finished in 18th place, almost three seconds faster than his colleague Pietro Fittipaldi. “We had different programs, which is why there’s such a big difference,” admitted Schumacher, who didn’t exactly have a good start to training. After leaving the pits, he came back in the same lap. "We have a sensor in the gloves that has become independent. I didn't want to throw it in the cockpit while driving, so I
