Günther Steiner on Mick Schumacher's IndyCar tests

      Former Haas F1 team principal Günther Steiner believes that his former driver Mick Schumacher is doing the right thing by considering an IndyCar move…

      Günther Steiner: “Mick will run tests with a mid‑level team and then decide what to do. In my view, he is doing everything right. There is no doubt that he will be able to drive an IndyCar, but to make the decision to switch, several important questions need to be answered.

      First of all, he has never raced on ovals, and ovals are an important part of IndyCar. To be successful in that series, you need to enjoy ovals. Also, if he decides to join IndyCar, he must be prepared to spend at least three to five years there to achieve success. The drivers there are very good. And you need to break into one of the top teams. A long‑term plan is required here.

      Moreover, he must understand that after several years in IndyCar it will be very difficult to return to Formula 1.”
