Haas boss Guenther Steiner has claimed Mick Schumacher still has an opportunity to showcase his talents with the team, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. Prior to the 2021 campaign, the German was signed to his first ever Formula 1 contract, a two-year deal.
The 23-year-old ended a tough debut season in 19th in the drivers' championship, ahead of then-teammate Nikita Mazepin, but with no points scored. With new cars and regulations, Schumacher endured a difficult start to this season, with two big crashes in Jeddah and Monaco.
After being publicly warned by Steiner to improve his performances, the young star did just that and scored the first points of the season and his career in Austria and Silverstone, with the latter featuring a great battle with Max Verstappen in the closing stages. He currently sits 15th in the drivers standings, 10 points behind teammate Kevin Magnussen in 12th.
