Guenther Steiner insists his Haas team "didn't need to do bullying" despite complaints from Formula 1 fans accusing the team of mistreating Mick Schumacher.
Haas decided at the tail end of last season to replace Schumacher with a more experienced driver in the form of Nico Hulkenberg. The younger German simply hadn't scored enough points, and damaged his chances of getting a new contract with some expensive crashes.
But it took several months for that decision to be made, with the team waiting to be the last on the grid to confirm its 2023 driver line-up. It meant Schumacher had no other race seat to go for after losing his own, and left him uncertain about his future for several months.
