Gunther Steiner is not worried that Haas’ new all-rookie driver lineup will descend into a personal spat. Team boss Steiner says he is not worried the new teammates will badly clash. For his part, Schumacher is unlike Mazepin in that he always seems to avoid controversy – and so he is kicking off their partnership with praise for the Russian. Steiner, though, is expecting a steady start for both Mazepin and Schumacher, admitting that he is prepared to tolerate early mistakes from the pair. “By 2022, they should be in a position to prove what they are capable of,” Steiner added.
