Nikita Mazepin’s assessment of Haas team-mate Mick Schumacher has done nothing about it by assuring that he should be ready to take what he would like to hand out.
After Schumacher “got his elbows out” against Mazepin in Monaco, the Russian has annoyed his team-mate twice with movements that the German believes have exceeded the limits of what is acceptable.

In Azerbaijan, Mazepin slid dangerously right at the last second to block at over 200 mph, while Schumacher in France on Sunday felt like he was being pushed off the track in an overtaking maneuver.
When asked if the relationship had been put to the test in recent weeks, Mazepin said: “You brought up the Monaco point. I think it is very important in life that when you give, you are ready are to take it. ”
“Of course no incidents happened. I believe no incidents will happen and like he said he will keep doing his thing and I’ll keep doing mine.
Triple header, what the doctor ordered
The current F1 calendar for 2021 includes four triple headers, with the Styrian Grand Prix this weekend being the second race of the season opener.
When asked a rookie driver if this long period of driving would be useful at this stage in his career, Mazepin replied, “I think it is.
“I would say the time spent sitting at home is pretty painful because this year when we race we can’t end up right in the middle or even in the top 15 most of the time, so I’d much rather race . ” than wait.
“Of course, that’s exactly what the triple header is about.”
