"He was simply spoiled,He said Swiss in an interview with German colleagues from Formel1.de. "Because with Mercedes, many can drive fast.”And that could be in Mazepin triggered a feeling in the sense of: “Formula 1 is not that difficult at all. And then he went from the best race car to the worst. Of course, it was a severe blow." mazepin has tested for various Formula 1 teams over the years. For test days at Mercedes, is his father, the owner of the business uralkali, the team 's main sponsor Haas, in 2019 ma lane in Barcelona, ​​even paid half a million dollars a day!

Although attempts have been made to test these remain secret, a lot of information was coming to the public. For example, when they are mazepin younger and Vandoorne on their social network accounts Instagram posted photos and it became quite over time conspicuouslythat they mostly lived together ”leave”And that she was nearby every time racetrack. Anyway, debut season Mazepina in Formula 1 so far it is not going as desired. Compared to a teammate Mick Schumacher lags behind in qualifications 2:12.

Mazepin is increasingly under fire from critics

On top of that Rus recently found on strike criticism professionals such as Jenson Button in Ralf Schumacher, which he also joins Surer. "I think Mazepin is overwhelmed. Many of his racing actions are not recalculated and prepared, but sometimes seem to arise out of panic." Surer he has in mind actions such as pushing Schumacher in the direction of the wall c Baku in Zandvoort or a collision in the last race in Monza, for which the Russian later apologized. “For me, it’s all out of control. He has no reviews."

Marc Surer is convinced that Nikita Mazepin is overwhelmed in Formula 1 and that he has no check-ups and that his racing moves are panicky.

Surer so he has an understanding of the situation Günther Steiner, team boss Haas, which ultimately also found itself under fire from critics. Ralf Schumacher he even said: “Maybe Günther needs other glasses!“But Surer he knows what it’s like to be like a team boss if you’re between two fronts. “Günther Steiner has a very difficult job."It simply came to our notice then Surer here attached - like many - to the fact that it must be due millions of father Dimitri to stand before his son and defend him from criticism.
