Schumacher scored his best result to date in F1 with sixth place at the Red Bull Ring, making his back-to-back p🧸oints finishes in 2022.

The German duelled with Hamilton during the majority of the sprint race before ge💃tting past the Mercedes dr💎iver in the early laps of Sunday’s grand prix.

• DRIVER RATINGS: You wo💯n’t guess which m🔥idfield driver got 10/10
• This is why Vettel walked out of feisty dr♌ivers' meeting
• Bernie Ecclestone charged with fraud🅷 over hidden £400m assets
• Is F1 2022 now a two-way tit🦄le fight? And 🦄does it suit Red Bull or Ferrari?

Reflecting on his battle with Hamilton, Scꩵhumacher said he learned that everyone is capable of making mistakes and that “everybody’s human”.

“I think the main thing that I learned is that everybody’s human,” Schumacher sai♛d.✱ 

“Everybody makes mistakes a𒆙nd everybody when they’re under pressure at some time get toꦏ a point where they do make mistakes. That I think is important to me to know that and not be afraid about fighting with anybody out there.”

Less pressure the key for Schumacher

Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes a more relaxed approach from Schu🦋macher has been a major factor in his improvement in form.

Th🍬e American outfit has enjoyed back-to-back points finishes for the first time with both cars since the end of 2018.

“I cannot find somethinꦅg to say, this is what it was, but he already performed a lot bet𒅌ter in Canada," Steiner told Sky.

“Obviously, the qualifying was good there but the race w𒉰as not so good because he retired, but in Canada he just seemed to be a lot more relaxed about everܫything and that comes from putting less pressure on himself which helped having these results.

“I'm 100 per cent sure about this. I saw a change in Canada where he seemed to be more relaxed about everything but hopefully now w🦹ith having scored twice in a row and finishing sixth gives us more points because we desperately need them to get to ๊sixth.”

Steiner was also quick to dismiss any questions about Schumacheಞr’s frustration about a lack of team orders in the spr🔥int race on Saturday.

“You know race car drivers, they're all the same,” he added. “They always want to be in front of t🍌heir team-mate. I always say you're equals and the team decides what we're going to🐽 do because the points are for the team.

“We need more points for the team to get into sixth hopefully, or fight at leꦡast for sixth. If we waste opꩲportunities because you guys are fighting, it's not good for the team and the only entitlement they have is to work for the team.”
