The son of the legend Michael Schumacher is out of contract with Haas at the end of 2022, and his future is uncertain after a season which began poorly but has recently improved.

Daniel Ricciardo’s availability, after his McLaren exit, is among the rumours as the F1 2023 driver line-up forms. ESPN reported that Haas contacted Ricciardo.

“We are going to wait,” Haas team principal Steiner told Sky at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix. “We will take it calmly.

“If I followed the rumours we’d need to open a second team because we have signed everybody! I don’t know who will drive for us!

“We will wait. First of all, it needs to calm down.

“Daniel announced he will leave McLaren so there are rumours out there.
