Norbert Haug: The team has a very good relationship with Michael Schumacher – Formula 1 news
Mercedes GP’s Norbert Haug has recently stated that the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher is still determined about racing in Formula 1 and the fire is ‘still burning in him’ despite the fact that he has not been able to score some good results
since his return.
Haug claims that the team has a very good relationship with the 42-year-old and that both of the drivers of the team are important for them as a result of which, there is no reason why Nico Rosberg or Michael Schumacher would want to walk away from the team.
“Not at all. We have a great relationship inside the team, the guys visit our factory and we know each other and tell each other no bullshit,” he said.
Other than that, he insists that Schumacher is still determined about winning and that he is trying his best to take the team to the very top.
“I think you saw some very calculated braking moves from him in Canada and he is relaxed, and sometimes too ambitious here and there. But he is very ambitious, not too ambitions, but he is ambitious and the fire is burning. Look in his eyes and you will
see that,” Haug told the media.
He added that the team is going to take some time to become a championship winning team and they cannot pull off miracles overnight.
Ross Brawn is also disappointed with how the team has performed this year but Mercedes GP has admitted that they need some time and Formula 1 is not a fantasy world where one can pull off wins without using a competitive car.
The team did admit that this failure was not their drivers’ fault as they are still trying to perform at their best and by the looks of it, both of the drivers are not looking bad at all.
