Mick Schumacher does not hide his disappointment after his non-renewal at Haas

The 2023 season of Formula 1 will be done without Mick Schumacher. Closer to a departure than a contract extension in recent times, the German was informed by Haas that he would not be renewed for a 3^e year with the Americans who preferred to bet on his compatriot Nico Hulkenberg.

« The experience and knowledge Nico brings to the team is evident – ​​with almost 200 Formula 1 starts – and a reputation for excellence in qualifying and as a strong, reliable driver., » underlined Günther Steiner when making official the arrival of Nico Hülkenberg.

Made aware of his non-extension even if it was increasingly obvious, Mick Schumacher was quick to react. If Haas did not even mention it in its official press release, the German wanted to share his feelings after the news, promising to fight to find a starting place in the future.

Mick Schumacher does not give up

« This will be my last race with Haas (the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix), he initially said. I don't want to hide from you that I am very disappointed with the decision not to extend the contract. Nevertheless, I would like to thank Haas and Ferrari for giving me this opportunity. These years spent together helped me gain technical and personal maturity. And when things got tough for me, I realized how much I love this sport. It was bumpy at times but I made steady progress, learned a lot and now know that I deserve a place in F1. The subject is anything but closed for me. Setbacks only make you stronger. My heart beats for F1 and I will fight to get back on the grid."
