Gunther Steiner on Mick Schumacher being able to handle the pressure of F1
Steiner, in an interview as per Motorsport-Total, said, “I haven’t worked with him yet. But when you look at his results, the first season was always … not bad, okay. But he always struck the second season.” (translated via Google)
“I think that’s because in the first season he analyzes what he can do better and in the second he then does it. Instead of trying to go through the wall with his head in the first season. He’s very cool that he doesn’t have to show in the first season that he belongs here.”
Steiner thinks that this in line with the team’s philosophy. He said, “That is exactly my goal in Formula 1. The first year we go as a learning year, we know that. [2021] will be a transition year. And then the second year is what we want. Getting the best out of the boys.”
