Kevin Magnussen backs Mick Schumacher for F1 2023: “He definitely deserves a place on the grid”
The identity of Magn💟ussen’s teammate for next season is still unknown with Schumacher fighting for his F1 future.
Schumacher remains in contention to remain🎀 with Haas for next year, while Nico Hulkenberg, Aston Martin’s current reserve drive꧃r, is a potential alternative.
Hulkenberg’s experience and guaranteed points scoring ability is thought to be appealing to Haas, while Schumacher has made significant gains in the second half of 🦄the season.
Team boss Guenther Steiner has insisted that Schumacher’s future is in his own hands, howe🀅ver🦩, has urged him to score points in the remaining four races.
Speaking in the FIA press conference in Austin for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:United States Grand Prix on Thur𓄧sday, Magnussen voiced his support for his current teamma🤪te.
“First of all, I haven’t had any influence on what’s bee✤n going on with drivers - that’s totally out of my hands,” he said🥂.
“If I just look at Mick, I think he’s really been improving all year. He starte🧸d off maybe not really liking the car and lacking a bit of confidence, but he’s really gained that.
“Lately📖, he’s been super hard to beat, for me. I think, [with] the way he’s driving right now, he definitely deserves a place on the grid. But again, it’s totally out of my hands, and I can only sort of just wish him well.”
After a tough run of races, scoring no point🔯s since Austria, Haas have dropped to eighth in the cha♒mpionship standings.
They are level on points with AlphaTauri 𓂃in the race 🍸for eighth overall.
“I think we are generally more happy with higher ꦫdownforce tracks, and this is a higher downforce track, so hopefully we c♍an be a bit more competitive,” he added.
“I think lately, some of the other teams have kind of moved ahead of us in terms of ༺outright performance, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fight them and have a chance against them.”
“It’s very tight in terms of points. Even the next positio💖n up, P7, if you just look at the points, it’s not so much, but it’s so hard for us to score points at🌊 the moment. But we’re going to do our best, of course.”
