BERLIN: Norbert Haug’s sudden and unexpected departure from Mercedes will tear ‘a massive hole’ in both the team and Formula One, said seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher yesterday.
The 43-year old Schumacher, who retired from the sport last month, paid tribute to the Mercedes motorsport chief with a statement on his personal website. “Since I entered professional motorsport, Mercedes and Haug together were part of it,” said Schumacher.
“Him leaving will tear a massive hole in both our sport and our team.” Mercedes announced that Haug would stand down at the end of the month by mutual agreement after more than 20 years in the job.
