We have to remember that these modern F1 cars are hard to drive.
Yep it didn’t escape my attention that Mick Schumacher dropped the rear of his car on throttle in much the same way later in the race but for some reason I am not inclined to be quite so critical of him. HustleRussell said:

The video on this thread shows either the Haas has no grip or he was stamping on it
I thought it looked like he tried to go faster by just pressing the throttle harder. If you see what I mean. Steamer said:

Perhaps all forums should chiefly be populated by people that add nothing and nullify what is added by others? That would be.. interesting 
that's a reasonably accurate description of PH overall right now. Apart from the "interesting" bit.So am I the only one that's disappointed about MAZ spinning off, then?
I'd been looking forward to seeing him actually race, and whether his aggressive reputation held up. Was expecting fireworks! As it happens all he's done is given it a bootful too early and binned it - a feat which you can witness on the roundabout outside many retail parks on a Saturday evening...

I wasn't expecting him to do anything impressive at all, but he still managed to disappoint me....So am I the only one that's disappointed about MAZ spinning off, then?

"It's the car, it's undriveable", sure... Except his team mate drove the same car around the same corner at higher speed that first lap without binning it, and then went on to complete the entire GP.

Exactly my feeling too! I had low expectations but I at least expected him to be around for more than 20 seconds of the race.

Yes, his team mate, that other rookie also in his first GP no less."It's the car, it's undriveable", sure... Except his team mate drove the same car around the same corner at higher speed that first lap without binning it, and then went on to complete the entire GP.
Even Michael Andretti wasn't this bad.

I think the drivers who manhandled the ’80s turbo cars around the track might laugh at the suggestion 2021 cars are hard to drive.
Do you really think that 80s turbo cars were more difficult to drive? I really doubt. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wQgP9nugt5I
Oh, and when they go out for qualifying, with a special engine designed to last just the one lap, it’s got 600bhp more than it had in the practice session!

One my clients is a f1 collector and racer (pretty good!) and he is no were near able to drive a modern f1.
Brundle himself said that the last few year, the cars have been brutal to drive and much more difficult to handle than anything he drove before. I think that I will go with people who have experienced the real deal on that one... Lol
The problem mazepin has now is that the pressure to not make a similarly embarrassing mistake next outing is so great that he probably will make such a mistake.
In fact, in fairness, if he can get through the entirety of the next quali and GP without making a fool of himself again, I would actually say that is quite impressive.
