Gunther Steiner says he regrets one insult hurled at axed Haas driver Mick Schumacher. What Steiner does regret, however, is a particular phrase he used earlier this year to justify Schumacher’s axe. Given the fact that Mick’s family has a horse ranch in Texas, and given Michael Schumacher’s grave health situation, Steiner admits it was insensitive. “It’s a saying in America,” he told the German magazine. “But I didn’t want to say that Mick was dead or something. “If you know me, you have to deal with it,” said Steiner. Steiner admits that he has barely spoken with Mick at all since their split.
