Schumacher and HAAS cut ties

Mick Schumacher has announced over his social media that he won’t be continuing with HAAS into the 2023 Formula 1 season, and will be replaced by Nico Hulkenberg.

The 23-year-old German youngster, and 2020 F2 champion, will end his second season and association with Hass at Abu Dhabi in the F1 season finale.

With all the recent talk over Nico Hulkenberg getting an F1 career revival with Haas, and team principal Guenther Steiner not publicising any confident support towards the son of one the worlds greatest ever F1 drivers, Schumacher has said he is disappointed at not having his contract renewed.

“This is going to be my last race with the Haas F1 team. I Don’t want to hide the fact that I’m very disappointed about the decision not to renew our contract,” Schumacher said.

“Nevertheless, I would like to thank both Haas F1 and Ferrari for giving me this opportunity. Those years together have helped me to mature both technically and personally. And especially when things got difficult, I realised how much I love this sport.

“It was a times bumpy but I steadily improved, learned a lot and know I know for sure that I deserve a place in Formula 1. The subjects is anything but closed for me. Setbacks only make you stronger.

“My fire burns for Formula 1 and I will fight hard to return to the starting grid.”
