Mick's accident cost Haas 4.21 million euros

Since Mick Schumacher is very good at learning, Sebastian Vettel isn't particularly worried about his crash in the 2021 season.

Haas decided to skip all developments of the VF-21 and focus on 2022, which was a tough season for Schumacher as he joined the team with Nikita Mazepin to form a brand new squad of drivers. After several crashes at the start of the season, Ma Zeping earned the nickname "Mazespin", but overall, Schumacher suffered the most damage in several serious accidents throughout the season. In fact, Schumacher's accident cost Haas 4,212,500 euros, making him the most expensive driver in the paddock for the 2021 season.

Vettel has become Schumacher's mentor and friend in F1, but he admits the 22-year-old "broke seven cars", more than any other driver. As for the rivalry between his teammates, Vettel was pleased that Schumacher had established his dominance over Ma Zeppin.

Vettel said in an interview: "His main task was to beat his teammate Ma Zeping and he also calmly solved the problem. But Mick crashed seven cars, more than any other driver, and in the first year, he still had a lot to learn. ”

None of the Haas drivers scored in the 2021 season, but Schumacher more often ran out of VF21. His personal highlights of the season were his clash with Max Verstappen at the Hungarian Grand Prix, as well as his performance in qualifying at the Turkish Grand Prix, where he advanced to Q2 with excellent results and finished in P14.

Haas and Schumacher are now aiming to fight for points under the new rules for 2022, so Vettel wants his compatriots to have a stronger car in the upcoming season.

Vettel said: "I hope he has a better car in 2022 and is able to play with his talent. ”
