In summary: Haas team boss Günther Steiner says that his rookie drivers “believed they knew everything” when they got to F1.
In the letter
Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin are starting to appreciate how much they had to learn on their F1 debut, Steiner says.“There is always room for improvement in all of us, I think,” he said. “They are improving and, as I always said at the beginning of the year, at some point they will actually realize how little they knew when they started Formula 1 in Bahrain this year. I don’t know when that will come, but usually there is a moment that you get into it when you learn it when you are young.
“In Bahrain they probably thought they knew everything and 10 races later they’ll say, ‘Wow, how little did I know?’ And the bigger the surprise, the more you learn in the 10 races. You just notice how different it is than you thought. “
In the six races since their debuts, the couple have “made good progress,” said Steiner. “There is always room for improvement and I think we still have a way to go. Both have a small downside that they haven’t seen anyone to turn against. It may make learning more difficult, but you learn more. “
Red Bull has to keep up the development spurt – Verstappen
Red Bull cannot afford to give in in the development battle with Mercedes in order to win this year’s championship, says Max Verstappen.
“We have to keep pushing,” said the championship leader. “We always have to bring new parts into the car to make it faster. And I think that will decide the championship in the end. “

That decision didn’t impress me. It is unrealistic to expect a driver to back away from a legitimate overtaking opportunity. Ticktum didn’t do anything wrong here – it didn’t brake too late, it didn’t lose control. Bad call.https: //t.co/y9UtkSQlq0#F2
