Steiner hopes for no more Schumacher crashes in Baku
Jun.9 - Gunther Steiner has issued a clear warning to Mick Schumacher for the forthcoming Baku-Montreal double header.
Speculation about the 23-year-old German's future at Haas and in Formula 1 went into overdrive after team boss Steiner said the high-speed crash at Monaco was "not very satisfactory".
Indeed, while some teams bicker about inflation in the context of the 2022 budget cap, Schumacher's repair bill so far this season is counted in the millions.
Steiner says the small American team cannot afford more crashes and repairs as Formula 1 jets from Azerbaijan, located on the boundary of eastern Europe and western Asia, all the way to Canada in North America in the space of mere days.
"The challenges are that you go from one continent to another," he said ahead of Baku.
"If you have any damage on the car, it gets more difficult so we're hoping to not have any damage in Baku," added Steiner.
As for the questionable pairing of Azerbaijan and Canada on consecutive weekends, there were reports recently that Liberty Media and the FIA want to organise a smarter calendar for 2023.
"It would be great if we can combine the races regionally," Steiner agrees.
"I know that Stefano (Domenicali) is working very hard on that one and it will go in the right direction next year."

Some of us have been screaming about a geo-centric schedule for the past two seasons. As Swede said, give these dumbasses a bloody map. I'm no genius, but it took me under two hours to come up with a schedule that took into account weather, holidays, competing national events, traditional race dates, etc., and saved these fools close to 40% in travel miles. How much is that in $$$? Not to mention less kit and less team exhaustion.
Yeah, I know, too much time on my hands and too few personal challenges. Lucky me. :)
You didn't take nose studs into consideration ill bet
Just how inconsiderate can one person be, said Lewie about George trashing him sofar hehe
ROR,
Please share your schedule... Like to see it.
Idiots claim to be cacarbon neutral... Flying to and fro like drunken hummingbirds on jet fuel.
Swede, I posted it to this site and two others in, I think, December 2020 and didn't bother keeping a copy. It was during the whole F1 going green ballyhoo.
I'd have to go back and search for it and I'm too lazy. Sorry.
Maybe geography is not their strong suit?
Thats why the hired Flav.
Of course you can't understand a blithering word he says.
Certainly.
