Vettel not understanding: 'I don't think it was justified'

Sebastian Vettel finds it incomprehensible that Mick Schumacher has been criticised for his performances in Formula 1 in recent months. According to the German, the driver deserves the time to prove himself, he said in conversation with Formula1.com.

Schumacher had a difficult first season with Haas. At the end of 2021 he was still without points, so there was pressure on his performance this season. Whereas Kevin Magnussen got off to a good start, Schumacher is now increasingly picking up points as well.

"I'm very, very happy for Mick because I think he had maybe an unlucky start to the season," Vettel revealed. "Then it takes only a couple of races and then you get a lot of criticism and I don't think it was justified."

Vettel also saw that Schumacher had a difficult start, but according to him everyone has to take into account that the driver is still young. He therefore needs time to prove himself in the motorsport class.
