It shows also that having good drivers like MAG and GRO in the past can totally change your results.
I have always thought the hype about Mick is only because who he is son of.
Has he brought good sponsorship?Holm86 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 14:31I have always thought the hype about Mick is only because who he is son of.
Look at his F2 championship, it wasn't really impressive, 0 poles, only 2 race wins, only 2 fastest lap, and he won with the smallest margin of any F2 champion.
If this had been an unknown racer, he wouldn't have any attention.
I don't know, but I think he is backed by Ferrari, im pretty sure that's why he is driving for HaasBig Tea wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 15:37Has he brought good sponsorship?Holm86 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 14:31I have always thought the hype about Mick is only because who he is son of.

I know it is not going to be in the same park as <censored> but relitive
As a Michael Schumacher fan, i would love to see him perform and it hurts he probably isnt just good enough. He crushed Mazepin last year but i think that shows how bad Mazepin really was.Holm86 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 15:47I don't know, but I think he is backed by Ferrari, im pretty sure that's why he is driving for HaasBig Tea wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 15:37Has he brought good sponsorship?Holm86 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 14:31

One could argue that Mag has more recent experience with tunnel cars, and spring/ damper suspension than anyone on the grid.
2022 cars are very similar to Indycars actually, so maybe Magnussen could use that in his favour.
If his job is to attract sponsorship, and he is attracting sponsorship, then as long as his repair bills are not too high then Haas can afford to give him time, even if he only ever becomes a middling driver.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑22 Mar 2022, 18:38For sure it confrims that Mick is a slow adapter. He will never be elite but he might be good to steal a championship is a winning car.
I agree with your points but was he ever hyped, though?Holm86 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 14:31I have always thought the hype about Mick is only because who he is son of.
