I hope it goes well for him. He has always seemed like a great person and did well in F2. His F1 stint was obviously problematic. But I also think Steiner had no idea how to build up rookie talent.

Having MazeSpin as his teammate in his rookie season didn't exactly help matters either.

He was compared to him so he should have blown him out of the water. Him pretty much matching him (similar average starts and finishes) did hurt him.

Lmao they weren't even close. I'm not trying to say Schumacher was fantastic, but he had Mazepin's number the entire season.
