Mattia Binotto (Ferrari) is happy with the progress of Mick Schumacher
Ferrari is keeping a close eye on its young horse and notes progress for the young German. Mattia Binotto, head of the Scuderia, is delighted.
Member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, Mick Schumacher made his F1 debut this season. However, his first steps are difficult. The German driver is trying as best as he can to master his temperamental Haas.
The American team skipped the development of its single-seater and is already looking ahead to 2022. For now, the drivers have to deal with a tricky car.
Schumacher got his best result during the Hungarian Grand Prix with a twelfth position. The German was involved in several incidents with his teammate, Nikita Mazepin. He also had a big accident during a free practice session in Monaco. However, Mattia Binotto, the boss of the Ferrari team, sees promising signs in the son of Michael Schumacher.
« For his very first year in F1, the goal for him was first of all not to put pressure on himself and to make sure he learns. 2021 must be an important year for him in terms of learning. If we look at this goal, he is doing well. »
Aware of Haas’s slowness, Binotto still expects progress in the second half of the season. A difficult challenge for Schumacher.
(English translation) « What is important to him is to continue to develop and progress in the second half of the season. I am convinced he can do it.
Haas is going through a challenging season. The team is at zero points in the constructors’ standings. The mid-season review of the team is alarming.
