Sebastian Vettel believes Haas "could certainly have done better" as he reacted to the news that his friend Mick Schumacher will lose his Formula 1 seat next year.
The team announced on Thursday morning that they will replace Schumacher with Nico Hulkenberg for the 2023 season. It comes after months of speculation over the 23-year-old's future, and a lengthy wait for him to discover whether or not his first stint in F1 would end after two years.
Reacting to the news, Schumacher said in a statement that he was "very disappointed with the decision". He also made it clear that he intends for his F1 departure to be a temporary one, adding: "The subject is anything but closed for me – setbacks only make you stronger."
