Q1 in Zandvoort saw a couple of big names being eliminated due to traffic and one of them was Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel. He was impeded by the Haas duo of Nikita Mazepin and Mick Shumacher. Mazepin was the one who appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Mazepin was left seething in the wake of this event and he has now explained why and Mick responded both while speaking to F1 TV Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxT5Ty4_JZkLH33FQ54AaABCQ 0:00 - Nikita Mazepin Feeling “F****d Off” With Mick Schumacher 2:06 - Fast Feed I'm your host Tyler and first up on Formula World: Nikita Mazepin Feeling “F****d Off” With Mick Schumacher Mazepin began by explaining why he is annoyed “Well, I’m really annoyed to be honest because it should have not been that difficult with traffic. Because as [the] rules [are] within a Formula 1 team, one weekend you are the first car [on track], the next weekend you are the second car” He then revealed how he had been chastised by the team for breaking this agreement in the past “This weekend was my turn to be the first car and I’ve once, in Imola, overtaken the first car when I was the second [car] and I got a bollocking from the team” He further suggested that this is the second time this has happened to him “And now this has happened to me the second time, my team-mate overtakes me and bumps me into the traffic and f***s my last attempt in qualifying, on purpose, so I’m not happy” He reiterated that this was deliberate from Mick “If you do it once and he didn’t know about it fine, but twice that’s deliberate, and I don’t like it when there’s tension, it shouldn’t be like that. There is no point. So, I am f****d off” Mick, meanwhile, gave his side of the story “I don’t know what Nikita is saying, I think at the end his crew didn’t give him the message. I asked if I could overtake because my tyres were quite cold and he usually does a lap that is a bit slower than mine and I got the okay from the team and overtook accordingly” He signed off by suggesting that there is no need for drama “I think Lando [Norris] was between us and I don’t see a reason to make drama out of it. His lap didn’t get ruined. We will discuss this internally and Guenther [Steiner, team principal] will also say something. In my opinion, on our side, we didn’t do anything wrong” Fast Feed AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly has stated that “it seems [Red Bull] are happy with the balance between Sergio [Perez] and Max [Verstappen]” [Motorsport-Total] “I'm just paying attention to my job and I want to perform as well as I can with the car I can get. We are currently fighting for fifth place against Aston Martin and Alpine”, he added “I'm in a happy place right now and if we take fifth place in the constructors' championship this season it would mean a lot personally”, Gasly specified Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer has revealed that they have “a one plus one contract [with Sebastian Vettel] and there’s certain dates within the contract that [they] have to decide by” [F1] He added that “those dates haven’t come and gone yet, so it’s just normal process. It's nothing complicated, and it's not conditional upon anything” “We like Sebastian, he likes us, and now it’s time to talk about what we’re going to do next year”, Otmar surmised Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has divulged that they “will announce the decision [regarding AlphaTauri’s 2022 line-up] in Monza” [Kronen Zeitung] Alfa Romeo team principal Fred Vasseur has explained that their preference for an experienced driver has nothing “to do with the changes in the regulations” [Autosport] “I would say it has more to do with the limited number of test days. We do have to keep that in our mind in our driver selection”, he added “We don't have to make a decision yet. Antonio [Giovinazzi] still has some races to go and is in a good position”, Vasseur surmised Formula E world champion Nyck de Vries has pointed out that “in sports, there is always something going on and it is always uncertain. Especially in [their] world” [Motorsport] “At the end of the day, it's all about your performance. [He’s] very grateful for the opportunities [he’s] had. [He is] also flattered by Toto's words” “You could say that [he’s closer to a Formula One opportunity than ever before]. There is a lot of talk about it now and [he is] being linked to different teams in Formula 1”, Nyck concluded Was Mick Schumacher in the wrong during qualifying at Zandvoort?
