Johnny Herbert has a lot of sympathy for Mick Schumacher regarding his issues both on and off the track.
The young German made his Formula 1 debut with Haas in 2021, driving an entirely uncompetitive car incapable of scoring points. The team's fortunes improved last year, but Schumacher was unable to capitalise upon the strides made and could only score points on two occasions across the season.
That, combined with a series of expensive crashes, gave Gene Haas and team principal Guenther Steiner a decision to make. After months of deliberation, they decided to replace him with the more experienced Nico Hulkenberg for this campaign.
