The Russian rookie has already exhausted the extra weight of his chassis compared to that of teammate Mick Schumacher.
Amid rumors of a rift between Gunther Steiner and Mazepin’s wealthy father and team title sponsor, the Haas boss played the story of the overweight cars.
Commenting on his struggle to tune his car, Mazepin said, « The problem is that the setups don’t really make sense to me in terms of feedback, so I’m pretty lost.
» I always went in with the attitude that the driver did his job and the engineers did theirs, « said the 22-year-old. » But at the moment we speak a little different language.
« I’ll find out a few more details so that I can communicate better with the team, how the car can be made faster, because the path is currently not very promising. «
