The longest-running story of Formula 1 silly season last year saw Guenther Steiner take as much time as he wanted to decide whether or not to keep Mick Schumacher.
The German had spent two years with Haas but not really set the world alight in either of them. But there were mitigating factors – most notably that even his dad Michael probably wouldn't have been able to score a point in their 2021 car when at the height of his powers.
In the end, after taking an age to decide, Steiner decided that he hadn't seen enough from young Mick and wanted a more experienced racer in his seat. Enter, Nico Hulkenberg, back from the F1 wilderness to take a regular driving role for the first time since 2019 at the age of 35.
