Mick Schumacher says battling seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton in AustrianGP will help him “not be afraid” of his rivals in wheel-to-wheel combat.
This comes despite the team’s lack of a major upgrade package for its VF-22 car this year, which is only due to arrive for the Hungarian Grand Prix at the end of the month.
Schumacher called the uplift in form a “refreshing change” for Haas, but felt his breakthrough points finishes “could have come a lot earlier” in his F1 career. “We’ve shown the potential that the cars have, and also we’ve shown the potential the drivers have,” Schumacher said. “We know what we need for our car to be quick. We had a strong car at the beginning of the year, obviously some people brought updates.
"We maybe lost our way in terms of set-up a bit, but then it came back to a very good set-up, and other people maybe struggled with their package.
