Steiner won’t be ‘scapegoat’ for Schumacher’s struggles

Guenther Steiner has said he’s not going to take blame for Mick Schumacher’s problems so far this season, insisting that the team has not placed “unnecessary pressure” on him as he looks to improve, while emphasising that “everyone is expected to perform” at this level.

Schumacher is yet to get off the mark this season in terms of points, while Kevin Magnussen has had a much more positive time of things on the other side of the Haas garage since his return to Formula 1.

Schumacher, meanwhile, has suffered two serious accidents so far this year, with his car breaking in half after crashing out in Monaco.

In the time of a budget cap in Formula 1, Steiner admitted Haas are now behind on bringing new parts to their car as they had not anticipated producing replacement parts at the rate they are currently.

The Haas team principal has thrown his support behind Schumacher once more, and hopes to see his fortunes improve.

Swapping fishing for driving!
