Verstappen faces competition: 'He wants to be world champion'
- GPblog.com
Haas is having a very disappointing season. The team occupies the last places in the world championship and the constructors' championship, which makes Günther Steiner want to forget the season quickly. Nevertheless, the team boss also sees positive things this season.
Indeed, Steiner has become impressed with Mick Schumacher. The driver is in his first season in Formula 1, but has already shown that he has the right feeling in the team. In the car, he also impresses Steiner, who predicts a great future for him.
"Unfortunately I never worked with Michael, but our Ferrari engine guys say: Michael was exactly like that," he points out in conversation with F1-insider-com to seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher. "Mick also does it all very honestly. He doesn't shout, he goes to the boys and they love him for that. That's nice to see, especially in a difficult season like the one we're going through."
Schumacher has a chance of winning the world title
The team boss, therefore, does not rule out Schumacher winning the world championship one day just like his father. "Mick has the capabilities, although it is not yet possible to say with certainty that he will be world champion. But I do believe in him. He also has the drive to do it, he wants to be world champion and that is also important."
