Guenther Steiner believes many underestimate IndyCar: "The bar is set high"

Last among the full-time drivers in the standings and a best finish of 16th, Mick Schumacher's rookie season in IndyCar has been far from easy.

"Anyone who said Mick would go there and win is a dreamer," Steiner said in an interview to Motorsport.com. "The bar is set high with the top drivers over there. And they’ve been doing this for years. You can’t just walk in there. Nobody can just walk in and sweep the board. The best have tried."
