Nikita Mazepin and Bernie Ecclestone defend Mick Schumacher amid Haas criticism

Ex-F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has criticised Haas chief Guenther Steiner for his public criticism of Mick Schumacher and claimed it would not have happened "if Michael was here".

Schumacher is still waiting to score his first Formula 1 points, despite being in his second season with Haas and in a more competitive car than he was in his debut year. On top of that, he has been in two very expensive crashes in Jeddah and Monaco which completely destroyed his car.

Those smashes led to public criticism from team boss Steiner, who made little effort to hide his disdain as he tries to run the team with the smallest budget on the grid. "It's not very satisfactory having a big crash again," he said, before adding: "We need to see how we move forward from here."
