Mick Schumacher's hopes of being kept on by Haas for the 2023 F1 season have been given a big boost by team boss Guenther Steiner.
The son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael joined the American team at the start of the 2021 campaign, but failed to impress in his maiden season as neither he nor teammate Nikita Mazepin scored a single point. After the Russian was axed for this campaign amid his country's invasion of Ukraine, Schumacher and Kevin Magnusson were expected to be more competitive in this new era of F1.
But whilst the Dane started well, Schumacher's struggles continued as he was ruled out of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix following a damaging crash in qualifying. Another accident in Monaco prompted Steiner to cast doubt over the German's future.
