No driver wants to be in the worst car on the grid, but for Mick Schumacher, it certainly brings some benefits… There was little doubt about it before the first race of 2021 and even less afterwards: In the VF-21, Haas have the slowest car in Formula 1.

Because of that, Schumacher will most likely spend his rookie season at the back of the grid, but all things considered, that’s not an entirely bad thing.

Ideally, in the first races of their first season, a rookie should be able to stay under the radar and ease into things, familiarising themselves with their new machinery and slowly improving their performances as they get more comfortable. For Schumacher, doing so was always going to be difficult.

Precious few drivers have joined Formula 1 with as much pressure on their shoulders and the spotlight on them as much as the 22-year-old given that his father, Michael, is one of the sport’s all-time greats.

Entering the sport with that surname and a Formula 2 title, expectations were sky-high for the German, and if he failed to live up to them, criticism would soon follow. Such criticism could affect him and lead to him pushing too hard, too soon and making mistakes.

However, such expectations decreased considerably once it became apparent just how poor his machinery is, and that, in many ways, is a weight off his shoulders.
