The future, and the present, of Mick Schumacher are of great concern to Mercedes. The German, one of the most promising youngsters of all those in F1, lost his seat as starting driver after two seasons at Haas, with a boss who, whenever he could, has recalled the accidents and the great expense that the german.
Meanwhile, the Schumacher family has taken direct aim at Red Bull. Those of the energy drinks rejected the signing of the Teutonic for AlphaTauri, choosing a Nyck de Vries who could have his hours counted with the Austrian B team.
Now, Helmut Marko, the great noted, has explained the reason why they refused to sign Schumacher.
“He is responsible…”
“The person in charge is Toto Wolff. He approached us in a meeting, and it’s a pity that he is playing with the FIA and with us at the same time. That cancels out everything he puts on the table for us,” he told ‘Sport1’.
And he explains: “Why would we have to sign Schumacher? He is a Mercedes driver.”
“If Wolff thinks so much about him, I don’t know why he doesn’t let him drive for his own team,” he says.
Then he points to another team: “Let him put him in one of his client teams, like Williams.”
For now, Schumacher is still waiting for his chance at Mercedes, where he is a reserve for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. His work is, above all, in the simulator.
