Mick out to fight for podiums with new Haas pace

Mick Schumacher does not just hope to score points this season – having seen the pace of his car in action, he hopes to make the top three at some point in 2022.

His Haas team-mate Kevin Magnussen enjoyed a sterling weekend on his return to Formula 1, qualifying seventh and taking advantage of Red Bull’s double retirement to finish P5 in a moment that saw the team score more points in one race than in the previous two seasons combined.

A disastrous weekend for Red Bull

They sacrificed the development of their 2021 car entirely to focus on the VF-22 and their patience appears to have paid off – with the team looking in strong form all weekend.

Schumacher was not able to get himself into Q3 on Saturday and then being spun around by Esteban Ocon’s Alpine on the first lap of the race hindered his chances, but he was left full of optimism for the season ahead.
