Mick Schumacher finally scored his first F1 points last weekend at Silverstone. But the HaasF1Team has warned against heaping pressure on the German going forward. Story:
The German finally broke his duck by finishing eighth at Silverstone after chasingWhile the result will put a stop to the previous questioning about when he would score his first points, Steiner says now expectations could be pitched too high.
"I think it will give him a little boost, and just boost his confidence," Steiner told Autosport regarding the Silverstone result. "And it's just going one hurdle. But what we have to watch now that the pressure now doesn't come, and that if he doesn't score points he gets critiqued."They are human beings, there are other 19 drivers, who are great drivers, and there are other nine teams which have good cars.
"It's a sport. The expectation shouldn't be that he scores every race and then if he doesn't score, he's being critiqued again. It's put him on a pedestal and throw him down again, and we shouldn't try to do that one." Steiner said that Schumacher wasn't told to take it easy at any stage, even when battling with Verstappen."When they fight and you start to talk to them you confuse them more than anything else. I trust my guys. I know he wanted his points, and he delivered. I think he was in control."Photo by: Andy Hone /
