- Guenther Steiner says, “Coming back like this, it looked like the plan worked out. Twelve months with the performance we had last year was a long twelve months. Mick knows he might be a little bit behind but he takes it well and he needs to get used to having a more experienced teammate. We need to be patient, but Schumacher will get there soon. Kevin isn’t perfect but he will be okay.”
