Mick Schumacher has had his first Formula 1 season, in which he has shown some of his skills. He was significantly better than his teammate Nikita Mazepin, which is nice at the beginning. He gained experience, but there was also one big problem. He crashed many times and caused millions in damage to the Haas team.
“It’s a lot of money and basically for no reason,” Haas team boss Günther Steiner said during the season. “It happens too often and accidents are very severe.”
It hurt the stable significantly, because it was running out of spare parts at the end of the season. This is money that could be used in other ways. “It can certainly make you angry, but I personally don’t want to deal with it for very long,” Mick Schumacher said in an interview with Motorsport-Magazin.com.
“I am not particularly worried about any mistakes, because mistakes are here for us to learn something. It’s all part of the development and advancement, “ stated the son of a seven-time F1 world champion.

When we count the whole year 2021, Mick Schumacher caused damage totaling 4,212,500 euros and was the worst of all the racers. Second came Charles Leclerc of Ferrari (4,046,000) and third was World Champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull (3,889,000).
For example, the last-named Dutchman also paid for the mistakes of others, or for collisions with other riders, but Mick Schumacher’s accidents were often innocent. And he needs to work on that. “It’s definitely better that it happened to me now that we weren’t fighting for points,” dodal Mick Schumacher.
