Bild reports that Mick Schumacher has ‘four races left’, but it is not as dramatic as it seems as that’s to score points to put him in a better bargaining position with Haas for 2023.

Competing in his second season in Formula 1, Schumacher had hoped that his performances by now would have secured his place on the grid.

They’ve done everything but.

Two big crashes, Jeddah qualifying and the Monaco Grand Prix, have not helped his cause with the driver incurring a repair bill estimated at $2 million for the two crashes, and he hasn’t been able to balance that scale with points.

It has led to mixed comments coming from Haas team boss Guenther Steiner, the Italian saying on one hand that it cannot continue, and on the other accusing the media of trying to drive a wedge between himself and the 24-year-old.

But with Schumacher out of contract at the end of this season, it is fair to say that time is running out for the German.

‘Points are finally needed before the summer break. Mick has four races left,’ reports Bild.

Those four races are the grands prix leading up to the summer break – Britain, Austria, France and Hungary – with Steiner having said he will “not have the talks before” then.
