With Mick Schumacher on a last advance notice with his group chief, Ralf Schumacher has scheduled Guenther Steiner's draconian administration style.
Steiner has been Mick's supervisor since he joined the Formula 1 lattice in 2021.
In any case, while last season the German was the brilliant kid, serenely speedier than his colleague Nikita Mazepin, this season he has been dominated and out-sparkled by the returning Kevin Magnussen.
To exacerbate the situation, he presently can't seem to score a point while his Jeddah and Monaco crashes have left Haas with a $2 million dollar fix bill.
Any reasonable person would agree that Steiner isn't dazzled and, in that frame of mind up to the Baku Grand Prix weekend, gave his driver a last admonition.
"It's simply unrealistic to proceed with this way," Steiner said according to Motorsport.com, "and that's what he knows."
He added: "I believe there's a great deal of things going on, however there isn't one straightforward response. We really want to find out how we turn out forward. There's a ton of things we need to figure out at this point."
In any case, while the group manager says he has not been addressing the 23-year-old as that would be counter useful, his uncle actually feels the Italian's "very tyrant" the board style isn't helping what is happening.
The previous driver turned intellectual told F1-Insider.com: "Steiner's style makes it hard for the drivers.
"He has a very tyrant authority style that I recall from my dynamic Formula 1 days. In any case, today it is as of now not cutting-edge."
He added: "Both committed errors, both Mick and the group. Then again, actually the slip-ups were not openly referenced by the group."
Schumacher says he understands what it resembles to drive for a testing chief.
Hustling for Williams under Sir Frank Williams from 1999 to 2004, the German figures one thing Steiner and Williams shared for all intents and purpose is that they'd address the media to put "pressure" on their drivers.
"Straight to the point needed to work up clashes as opposed to spreading cooperation and agreement," he said. "He accepted that drivers perform better when they disdain one another.
"Like Steiner, he originally conversed with the press, which he provided with data to come down on the drivers.
"Well, without a doubt that both I and my partners would have performed it better assuming there had been more attachment, since all the brain games go through pointless energy."
He accepts his nephew would obtain improved results assuming that he was under the administration of somebody like McLaren's Andreas Seidl or AlphaTauri's Franz Tost.
"I can well envision that Mick would as of now have focuses under a group supervisor like Franz Tost or Andreas Seidl."
"Daniel Ricciardo's emergency is likewise tended to out in the open, however you never get the inclination that Andreas Seidl's group isn't doing all that could be within reach to receive in return together.
"With respect to Yuki Tsunoda, he had a couple of errors early last season, as well. Then, at that point, group supervisor Franz Tost dealt with him by and by. With the outcome that he can foster his extraordinary ability this season and might in fact be a serious possibility for the spot close to Max Verstappen at Red Bull in the following three years."
