Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has hit out at Guenther Steiner over his treatment of Mick Schumacher during his two years driving for Haas.
The 24-year-old, who is the son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, was informed he would be released by Haas on the eve of last season's final Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi after months of speculation about his future.
Steiner later admitted he delayed making a decision about Schumacher's future "on purpose", while team owner Gene Haas was caught calling Schumacher a "dead man walking" just weeks into the 2022 season on the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
