Mick Schumacher became a part of the team in the 2021 season after he and Nikita Mazepin were chosen as the new recruits. Both were expected to perform well, but the decision turned on Haas’ face as the season ended with zero points in their bag with the car mainly to blame for its lack of pace. When the season started, Mazepin was replaced by Kevin Magnussen, and the difference was apparent as he drove well enough to bring in a couple of points for the team.
Schumacher still showed almost no signs of improvement until the British GP, where he scored his first points and then continued at the Austrian GP. Since then, however, he has mostly been at the back of the grid, trying to finish a race into points, leading to his removal from the team.
Fans on Twitter roar in support of Mick Schumacher
Mick Schumacher posted about his retirement through a social media post. As much as the fans were heartbroken upon hearing the news, they showed signs of support for the German. Here are some of the best reactions:
Mick Schumacher’s departure from the team was foreseen by many. His time with the team has been hard by the looks of it. The crashes he had throughout the length of the season had cost the team millions of dollars in damage, and for a small team like Haas, which has virtually no big sponsors, such crashes would be hard to recover from. Many believe that this was one of the bigger reasons for his removal.
