Ralf Schumacher rages at Haas over Mick Schumacher axe: “That’s not how to deal with an employee”

The younger Schumacher will be without a seat in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after Haas confirmed they would replace him with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg for next season.
It brings to an end the tumultuous saga♈ of his time at Haas, and the multiple times he has been criticised by team principal Guenther Steiner.
"Of course, this is a disapp꧃ointment for such a young racing driver," his uncle Ralf꧟ Schumacher said to Sky.
"The fa﷽ct that it took so long made it clear that it would not be quite so easy.
"They obviously approached the matter with different st🌼andards. You have to give a driver two or three years.
"We see, for example, Yuki Tsuno🗹da who sits in a supposedly better car and also has difficulties."

Ralf Schumacher was critical of how Steiner managed Mick’s departure: "That's not how you dea🍨l with an employee. That's why the result wasn't a big surprise.
"You have to promote such a young driver, yoಌu hav🎃e to hug him from time to time.
"The first year was difficult, now he suddenly had Kevin Magnussen in front of him and was able to learn - and the learning curve was very steep. And that's the only thing that matters for 🐈a young driver.”
Ralf hinted at a previous Steiner quote where the team boss said he was “done with rookies”, commenting: “Of course, as a team I can say I don't want a♉ juni🐷or rider, but well, then I won't even get them."
"I think it's better to go your separate wa꧋ys. Be🧔cause if you follow a common path, you have to have a team that stands behind you."
Mick's last race for Haas will be this weekend's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
What next for Mick Schumacher?

"I dꦐon't think Mick w🥃ill be gone forever," Ralf said.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff opened the door to a possible role as a reserve driver next season. Mick’s father 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher ended his famous career with Mercedes.
"The stateme�🌳�nt [from Wolff] already shows how to deal with drivers and how to appreciate them," Ralf said.
Ralf said about Hulkenb𒆙erg, Mick’s replacement at Haas: "He has often proven that he can drive fast. I'm happy for him, ♕he can now prove that he can consistently achieve good results."
