"Bernie Ecclestone: ‘People were disappointed with Mick Schumacher’s performance’"
https://www.planetf1.com/news/bernie...r-performance/
Ecclestone was pessimistic:
"“I don’t think he is in,” Ecclestone said matter-of-factly of Schumacher’s 2023 prospects, as per RTL in Germany.
“People were disappointed with his performance – whether it was down to him or the team, we don’t know.
“But of course, it’s difficult to find someone who will put him in a winning team, because he is not in one of those at the moment.”
“Maybe he needs to forget F1 and focus on the other motorsport series. His name is his biggest burden, but he is trying to live up to it as best he can. And that’s what brings him all the problems. That’s why: Forget about it and win in another category.”"

Wolff was optimistic:
"Wolff was asked about the rumours, telling RTL: “I don’t know what the status is with Mick and Haas.
“But I make no secret of the fact that the Schumacher family belongs to Mercedes and that we value Mick very much.”
The Mercedes motorsport boss, though, acknowledges that the priority needs to be getting Schumacher into a race seat.
“But first of all,” he continued, “it should be about Mick getting a regular cockpit.”"
