With Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher, Haas choose a line-up with two 'Rookies' for 2021. Helmut Marko is already measuring up to Günther Steiner and hopes it will all work out.

Haas has said goodbye to Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen after years of loyal service. The Americans have chosen a new path, in which talent and mainly money are important factors. In this search, the team found Schumacher and Mazepin, but that will cause problems in 2021.

Problems for Haas?

Two young drivers will always want to prove themselves and secure a place in F1. This could come at the expense of the team. ''I hope Günther can manage his two drivers so the team will function better. As a team, you want to work together to move forward, and that only works if the drivers work well together,'' Marko said according to Tercer Equipo.

Marko speaks with high praise of Schumacher. ''If you look at his career and the development he has gone through, you see that he is growing and getting better and better in every class. I think his first year will be mainly a learning year because he also has a car with Haas that is one of the least in the field,'' concludes the Red Bull Racing chief.
