Expert and former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer has assessed Haas` likely lineup for the 2023 season.
Reservist Nico Hulkenberg is expected to replace Mick Schumacher and be teammate Kevin Magnussen. Palmer believes that this is the right choice, despite the difficult relationship between Niko and Kevin in the past.
It is known that they did not like each other before, but it seems that the situation has changed, and Gunther [Steiner] will like it.
Big surprise. In the summer I spoke with Niko, and he said: I think my path [in Formula 1] is over, it is unlikely that I will get a place on the grid. All of a sudden, the opportunity arose, and it is understandable why Haas wants to invite an experienced rider. [Hulkenberg] has proven what he can do.
Maybe it`s a little cruel to Miku, but I think he (Niko) is ready for this. Good squad if he [Hulkenberg] stays motivated.
Mick was actually very close [to Magnussen] - that`s why I said it was kind of a harsh decision. For Mick, the season turned out to be actually a debut, because the team simply wrote off last year. But yes, big accidents did not play in his favor.
In the short term - and the team is thinking about the next season or two if they invite Niko - he will earn more points than Mick. Niko is an experienced rider and probably just faster. If he has the motivation and the thirst to fight, then I think the choice will be right, " Palmer said on the F1 Nation podcast.
