Gunther Steiner has denied already signing on the dotted line of a 2023 race deal with experienced German driver Nico Hulkenberg. When asked about the status of his talks with Haas about keeping his race seat, Mick Schumacher said in Singapore: “The status is that we will of course announce it if there is something to announce.”. Boss Steiner agrees that his short-list of candidates for 2023 is still in play. We still have to see what the best decision is for the team going forward,” Steiner added. He insists there is no “deadline” for the finalisation of his and team owner Gene Haas’ deliberations. When asked by Bild am Sonntag newspaper if Haas remains Schumacher’s first point of contact, the 23-year-old German answered: “There is nothing new there either.”.
