Mick Schumacher voted as the ‘Driver of the Day’ after a career-best P6 finish in Austria

Mick Schumacher thinks that as he was quicker than his teammate, Kevin Magnussen, he should have been let by.

Mick Schumacher finished a fantastic P6 in the Austrian GP, his best finish for the season and his career. Mick has scored points now in consecutive races, fighting the top guns like Max Verstappen in Silverstone and Lewis Hamilton in Red Bull Ring.

Mick after getting into Q3 in Austria had to fight Lewis for the 8th position finish in the Sprint Race but lost on the last laps of the 100Km qualifying. He got his revenge back on Lewis after passing him on the main race day and was successful in keeping the 7time world champion behind for quite some time. He was again passed by the Mercedes but everyone saw the potential he possesses.

Mick and Kevin have now scored points in two races consecutively, giving Haas their double points finish. Haas has been a hot topic for the trolls in the past few seasons, with no points and last-position finishes. They are now fighting the likes of Mercedes for the points, this jump can also be thanked for the Ferrari engine they are carrying behind which turns out to be a Monster this season.

With the pace the engine is bringing, it also comes with the reliability issues that is clearly evident after the DNF Ferrari team has been suffering. Haas has its own good share of engine blow-ups which have caused them some points. But things seem to be on track with the team on points.

Haas has now overtaken Alphatauri in the championship securing the 7th spot on the table with 34 points. With drivers Kevin and Mick on P11 and P15 respectively.
