Hill: Mick was ‘staring into abyss’ at Haas

Schumacher’s struggle for form in 2022 was beginning to create doubts over his future in Formula 1, his own team boss Guenther Steiner a key supplier of pressure on his Haas driver.

But the 23-year-old now appears to have made a marked improvement, finishing P8 at Silverstone to score points in Formula 1 for the first time, before following that up with a P6 in Austria.

Hill said that when a driver goes through such struggles, it can quickly dawn on them that their Formula 1 career is on the line and thus trigger an improvement.

This is what he believes happened for Schumacher.

“Something’s new, something’s different, something’s better,” said Hill of Schumacher on the F1 Nation podcast.
