The young German of Haas it would be a panacea for them marketing goals of the English company in Germany: Aston Martin sells very little on Mick's home soil, and grabbing another German would allow the car company to increase sales where there is a shortage. However, Mick's start to the season was anything but exciting, and Krack he preferred not to comment on the young man's situation for now"Clearly we want to continue with Sebastian. We'll see everything else later. I don't know enough about the details of his team and environment to judge“, referring to Schumacher.
