The driver rift making a dreadful F1 season even worse 

Mick in Haas is confirmed in 2021, also to Mazaspin

@@kelvin36914710 hopefully Ferrari tells haas to let mick go

good, Giovinazzi are JOKE

Might be a good idea from Mick but if we're being honest Mick and his teammate all right about the same skill level currently

@@kelvin36914710 Mick hasn't been confirmed yet actually, only Mazepin because he has a multi-year deal with Haas. It could be the reason why the second drivers seat at Alfa & Haas hasn't been confirmed yet, because Mick's entourage may be trying to move him into the Alfa.

You... left out the middle line. That's illegal.

@@Navajonkee they forgor

@@ottojablonka 💀

Mum can we get Max v Lewis in 2021? I'll see what I can do. What mum can do ☝

P12 will decide the big title

I don't think either of them want the wooden spoon for finishing last 🤣

is Haas's car the worst on the track? i guess I'm just musing about how good Grosjean and Maghnusen must have been, if so... to be getting 10th place finishes, etc. (Or, idk... it could be that it's not proper to compare a team's car from two different years)

@@luceatlux7087 I think u replied to the wrong comment 😂

Well you always want to finish ahead of your teammate for further contract negotiations with other teams. Russel did this at Williams and his talent was clear, being very dominant and fast and thanks to him out performing his teammate he got a seat with Mercedes. Mick and mazepin are trying to do the same.

LOOOL

Mick isn't the stand out talent his dad was or he wouldn't be unfortunate enough to have Mazepin as a partner. Having said that I'm not sure anybody deserves Mazepin as a partner his massive entitled behaviour would be an issue for any team mate. If Ferrari really wanted to protect their investment in Mick they would indeed be wise to pull a few strings and get him to Alfa where he could actually learn some things from a veteran driver.

@@MrFinbarz couldn't agree with you both more than I do.

This seems to me like Mazepin is driving far too aggressively in desperation to beat Mick at ANY cost so he can boast that he isn't a pay driver. That he 'deserves' his seat for beating the F2 champion, and son of one of the GOATs. Even if that means sabotaging the team and causing collisions.

@@MrFinbarz I mean, he was the 2020 F2 champion, he has talent

I group Stroll and Mazespin in the same category, there are much better F1 drivers out there.. but we have to deal with the mediocre crop because they also bring in money 💸💸

True but maybe it’s because they’re rookies

@@josephfrg2035 Rookies can still crash and die? It also can lead to collisions effecting spectators and marshals. Rules should be rules regardless of where you start on the grid.

The stewards are a yoke!

Probably because half the shit they do doesnt get reported by Haas, so the stewards either dont know or turn a blind eye

@@josephfrg2035 Sure, they're both rookies. But Mazespin isn't making this world any better what so ever. The only one who likes him is Mazespin himself. Although his parents are throwing money at N. Mazespin, deep down they regret having him as a kid. The only reward he'll ever get is "The least likable person of the century!" Hope Gene Haas finds financing somewhere else and throw that Mazespin shit head out of a moving vehicle and post it online.

$$$$$

Bribed

Well, this situation is no different from the Kevin Magnussen antics we used to see very often. In this case, F1 stewards are being pretty consistent even though it is for bad reasons.

Because it didn't happen to big names. Like if it was Lewis and Max we'd never hear the end of it. But two drivers for the team at the back? No one cares at the FIA

👏 💯%!!!

Unfortunately he will have to stay at haas. Ferrari dont have control in Alfa's seat anymore so alfa would probably go for Guanyu Zhou with his massive sponsorship. He is probably going to be like Russell and drive for Haas for a few years until he is ready for that seat in Ferrari. Unfortunately his teammate is a Mazepin, not a Latifi

@@maia_gaia yep, that's the bitter truth. Imagine if F1 is a purely merit-based sports, we probably would see a huge change in drivers line up for all teams

@@TheMschelsea91 would also have a lot less teams...

@@Juan444tv exactly! F1 is just a rich people's sport. A driver already needs to spend hundreds of thousands a year just while climbing up the karting career. Then making that shift from F3, F2 to F1, easily millions. Unless you have good sponsors, most of them are from rich families anyway.

@@TheMschelsea91 Yeah F1 is never a working class sport. And never will be. And that's the bitter truth sadly

Well the big difference is that Lance isn't a complete dickhead. And has actually learned to drive reasonably well in the past years. I mean he's no world championship material, but he's an oke and consistent driver. Almost the opposite of the Russian guy

Lance and seb have a pretty good relationship tho, lance is a solid midfield drive rn and there is the age gap, lance is the future of the team, he knows that, why would u even fight with a man whos coming to the end pf his career in the mext idk 5 to 10 years, i dont actually no how old vettel is so i might be wrong but theyre not competing like the two hungry rookies

@@jamesmiddleton8335 Would Lance have a seat in F1 if his dad wasn't sponsoring the team though? I'm guessing he wouldn't. Without the previous year's mercedes, Lance isn't much in the standings. After listening to his radio feed, any time he's involved in an incident or inconvenienced he whines up a storm.

Reminds me of Daniil "Then don't keep going" Kvyat.

He did that to drugovich in f2 and that almost ended very bad

Hungary 2010

Exactly! Unfortunately the stewards are ignoring it so we will see this move for the foreseeable future as maz is here to stay, until something bad happens. I pray that isnt the case

I mean, Micks dad did the same thing to his old teammate so….

yes exactly. stuff like this is so avoidable if the team would properly communicate.

Billionaire "Do what I want" mentality

@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 I'm talking about Grosjean and Magnussen as well

Exactly. There seems to be no sense of authority or control from Haas management and never has been. This is how all Haas teams will operate if they don’t get someone with some balls to punish this type of stuff.

@@daktus05 I think your right, However imagine how tough it must be to recruit a a new trackside management team when your fighting for 18th and 19th and usually in the news for the wrong reasons. (:

Stewards don't care as they are the backmarkers and these things happened between teammates. They would open their mouth if it was max or Lewis on the receiving end

Mazeshit 😭😭😭

@Curly Cat really? No one here is in F1 though...

@Curly Cat So what are you getting at? You like him? Want to defend him?

@@viniciusbraga9881 he is not, Juguar F1 imploded under him with a far better budget than Haas. Good boss maybe, a fantastic engineer during his time in WRC, but not a leader

They both literally just give him and f you. Give us a better car and be done with the conversation

@@mafiousbj This is actually a well known phenomena in Business, known as the "Peters Principle". People who are good at "doing a thing" will get promoted until they read a management position, at which point they become much less capable because they've gone from "doing the thing" to "managing the people who actually do the thing" which is a totally different skill set.

@@pavarottiaardvark3431 I could not agree with you more

They will start to care when a serious crash happens, which is a shame. As legal as Nikita’s moves are… they are just dangerous.

You actually quite wrong at this. In Austria,when Alfa - Aston crash happened, you can hear every engine keep revving as high as always. There should be about 10 penalties. But only ones who got one - was Nikita and Nicolas. Nobody else, stewards just let them get away with that.

Haas is to blame imo. was a crazy idea to bring in two F1 rookies, one of whom will clearly never progress from being anything other than a pay driver and then pitch them against each other in the worst machinery on the grid. seems pretty obvious they badly need one experienced driver to provide a good benchmark but more importantly stability and showing how you should work as a team to make gains.

@@braveheart4603 you didnt make any point as to why Schumacher is at fault. Your biases are showing.

@@XA-lm5oz cause I don't think he's predominantly at fault, i made no secret of that and literally everyone is subject to their own personal biases. i didn't blame mazepin either, he's entitled to fight for himself and his own career but I think you are sensitive to me saying he will always be a pay driver. that's just my honest assessment of his ability but that's a separate issues from who's to blame for the overall situation which as i said i blame haas.

They did it because Jean could not fund the team anymore, they need a sponsor and the sponsor wanted German in the car and Nikita well, do not explain that decision. But to be fair both driver have a shit car to drive with very poor balance so it no surprise they are spinning all the time. Next year should be a lot better for them if their so called development strategy for the 2022 car is a success.

I think his respect for a veteran would depend on whether or not he buys in to his own bullshit, and i think he might.

@@CH-yp5by yeah, the car doesn't help, hopefully putting all the development into 2022 will result in a better one.

@@GenuineRage yeah, it would be a big if. I think it would have had to been someone other than Magnusson or Grosjean too.

Oh yeah bottas and mick combo sounds really good

Unfortunately nothing can be done abt it. Money talks,especially in F1.

Different to lewis how?

Brett Gooden There is no comparison. Just say you hate Lewis and keep it moving.

@@brettgooden7035 How the actual fuck is this in any way comparable to Lewis

Money always has a place in this sport

it would be doable if 1 of them wasnt a walking anus hole

@@vinnie8792 Mazepin is not even at fault every time. Can't blame him alone because Haas is out of their godamn depth.

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Vinnie is clearly just picking on Mazepin because he is an easy target. Nothing new very original. Haas couldn’t even manage two experienced drivers

It’s a recipe for disaster. 2 inexperienced drivers in a team that has historically suffered from poor management. Why did they think they could do it lol

All they need now is to put some Rich Energy logos on the car.....

Mick is just doing his rookie time with a bottom team, the big ones will grab his contract when he is done with the Laughcar team.

Yeah, I also think the best Mazespin will ever do is be a Haas driver unless Daddy buys another team like Stroll did. Schumacher has the name and talent to win a WDC with a big team like Mercedes or Ferrari.

Unfortunately ferrari don't have control for that one seat in alfa anymore. Maybe the next step would be ferrari after all but not immediately, so mick is stuck in haas. Alfa would be a good idea but there's Guanyu Zhou with the 30mil sponsorship waiting out the door, no one will say no to that

@@TheMschelsea91 Ferrari does still have control over one seat in Alfa, Ferrari doesn't want Zhou in the team they want atleast one FDA driver, and with Bottas not being and FDA driver then Ferrari should still control that one seat

@@dutchgameboi2892 really? Last I read apparently Ferrari dont have control anymore. Meaning they cant force alfa to take a ferrari driver for one spot. This is why Zhou is highly regarded to be the 2nd driver. In fact rumours were circulating saying he was already offered a contract.

Guenther wanted to keep Kevin, it was Gene haas who wanted mazespin for the massive amount of money his daddy was willing to throw at the team.

If you're going to do it, at least make sure your race management team are up to scratch. For too often the drivers haven't been given essential information

Mick has a mentor in the form of Sebastian Vettel

@@yankees512417 so go for Kev and Maz

@@richardhobbs7360 Schumacher is getting his seat paid for by Ferrari and they get a bunch of technical support and parts from Ferrari

Tbh seems to me like mick is afraid if mazapin beats him one race it will tarnish his good name

But Nobody Knows Howe Good the Teams will be next year. Imagine MSC moves to Alfa and gets constantly beaten by a haas xD

Very good observation.

I think it's a little bit of both. Haas did Maz dirty during that quali with the lack of communication but Maz also kept running his mouth at the media. Thank goodness mick at least takes the more diplomatic approach regardless of what goes on behind close doors

@@TheMschelsea91 agreed

@@TheMschelsea91 Schumi Jr is the calmest driver on the grid. You should listen to his TR after their Baku incident. I literally have never seen anyone who go from 110% furious to 0% in a matter of 30s. It was mind boggling. Considering his young age, it’s even more incredible.

@@summerrain9871 I've heard his convos with his engineer, he is very calm indeed. The infamous beep beep from Russian gp makes it even more so. I feel like drivers like mick and Danny ric are very calm during races

replacing giovinazzi 🙏

If only Mick made his F1 debut for Alfa Romeo, he's currently driving for a team that's a pain in the "Haas" right now.

As much as I may like Giovanazzi, I think Mick should replace him at Alfa. Haas won’t help in his development in F1

But he'll only be there for 1 year, and at risk of without a seat for 2023... (Well not guaranteeing he's still have seat for 2023 if he stays at Haas, but still) Since we already know where that seat will go to in 2023... 🤔🤔🤔

Yeah, that's exactly the problem. As much as many of us want Mick to make the switch to Alfa, where's he gonna end up in 2023? Theo's contracted to Alfa in 2023 and Bottas has a 3-year contract with Alfa as well. What's Mick gonna do? Crawl back to Haas? (Assuming Haas is still around by 2023) Sit out an entire year? It's an awful situation to be in tbh.

Both sucks - Haas and Maz. Haas probably can't say much because of Maz's money. Mick deserves better.

So cause Maz has said it to the media, he’s to blame? We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors, for all we know Mick could be throwing the n-word around like no tomorrow

@@richardhobbs7360 Mazepin's conduct both on and off track toward other people and other drivers gives a good insight into his personality, which does imply he is more to blame. I don't know why you're throwing in the possibility of someone saying slurs without any basis for it.

The whole team should go down the tubes. Gunther worse manager ever, Nikita too aggressive/immature, Mick no real talent (look at his junior series and now). Get them all out of this sport.

@@BobSmith-uu5kj did u really watch mick's junior career? Dude won both F3 and F2. No amount of Dad's money and name could have gotten him that. Just another hater I see...

Thank you, finally someone that uses his brain not only going after Mazepin because he is an easy target

Gunther is quite a clown. He can't even get the best from his mechanics

Took watching 1 interview to see where the issue is. Gunter takes no responsibility or effort to make changes, typically passing off blame to the team HE MANAGES lol. Not sure why Gene keeps someone with a mindset like that in such an important position

Probably because Gene simply doesn’t have the money to be competitive. The drivers are driving a shitty car, and are only competing against each other. They don’t have a simulator! Every team has one now, and is relying on them more and more. I’m not saying Gunther is great, but you he has to work with what he’s given, so it’s hard to blame him. I’m an American and would love nothing more than to see an American team doing well in F1. But without money, it’s not gonna happen unfortunately.

Team owner is the issue, thinking his Laughcar cash is enough for the big league.

They can’t be frustrated being at the back of the grid when they both knew that this was exactly where they were going to be - a 2020 car with a basic modified 2021 floor - as the team has publicly stated that resources and focus would be on the 2022 car. It’s 90% Mazepin and 10% Schumacher- I totally agree that this is a total failure of management in not being able to control 2 rookies, considering 1 is on Ferraris books it would make sense mick would not want to put himself in a situation where Ferrari dump him for being unprofessional- Vettel is also mentoring him and you can see that by his attitude and approach- diplomatic and calm. On the other side of the garage we have Mazepin- I have never in 30 years of watching f1 seen a pay driver with such disrespect for the sport itself let alone his own team (as long as daddy is paying) and such a sense of utter entitlement to a seat he does not deserve. He holds zero respect from any other driver on the grid- that says it all. He does not belong in F1. I’m not a fan of pay drivers but for teams they serve a purpose financially so we have to accept it. In this case this becoming ridiculous, Steiner needs to grow a set and tell Nikita and his daddy thanks but no thanks- there are other drivers they can sign either with experience that’ll help them get up the grid or another pay driver that would show a little bit more respect and also have the added benefit of being a talented driver.

@@matthewbarber13 oh I have, Max from 2015-18

I'd see mick doing that more than Nikita. even thou his dad would rather punt than be passed

@@thepolishnz something like "my dads a millionaire", "so's mine", "my dads a 7 times world champion", "my dad can ski...."

Ikr, look at Williams they hired real deal to manage the team and this year they doing surprisingly good but let's see next year where new regulation brings to the table.

Grosjean was just last year’s Mazepin. F1 is better off without him, as I hope they will be with(out) Mazepin soon. [Edit]. Who chooses these F%#*ing clowns anyway? Seriously, is it the accountants?

but what should he do this year? Imagine if günther wanted to suspend mazepin as punishment for a race, how could that work when papa mazepin pays the salary of the entire team? And I think günther doesnt really care that much this year because the car is so bad. Maybe next year we see him yelling again :)

@@NDakovic Don't talk shit, man. Schumacher has wiped his arse with Mazepin this season. Mazepin has successfully managed to piss the entire grid off with his stupidity and poor driving endangering everyone. Maze-spin has been the laughing stock of F1 and you're blaming it on his chassis?! 😂

How? They have only had 2 sets of drivers so there is no way of knowing this.

My thoughts exactly, Grosjean and Magnussen had a lot of clashes during their years together. The main difference is that those two had enough experience to put it aside.

@@canismajoris6733 That’s still a 100% record of fractious team-mate relationships. Mercedes have to date only had 3 partnerships since they came back after all, and only one of them has been acrimonious.

wonder how they managed it

@@viniciusbraga9881 It was a meme long before that.

Money.

Magnussen left. Steiner was angling for a Magnussen-Schumacher lineup. It was a good move for Magnussen, though. He hated fighting at the back, and now he's gotten himself a win at IMSA.

Me too

Same here

Or Pierre Budar (former head of the Citroën Rally Team).

Aside from the fact that haas would most likely not be here without Mazepin.

I’d hate to say this, but mazepin is the easiest target to bomb on. Stop trying to blame everything on mazepin

Not content to spinning himself, he's now moved onto spinning others.

Mazepin has showed he’s overly aggressive in the junior categories, not just in F1. Him and Ticktum should be teammates
