Translation: Sky Sport Exclusive interview with Mick after his Haas exit

Source: Sky Sport F1 Germany

I: “Mick, good to have you here, after a difficult message I believe that you received yesterday. Tell us what especially your feelings are to get here to the paddock after such a decision, probably not easy.”

Mick: “Well of course.. yeah of course I would love to say that I will drive next year, but right now that’s not the case. Difficult, yes, of course it’s not easy, but I’m nevertheless happy looking back at the season. We continuously improved and did the best we could with this situation.”

I: “How was the situation yesterday? It has been speculated about for a while, where you had the feeling, everyone knew except yourself. Is that a wrong impression or was it really something that you only got to realise/know yesterday?”

Mick: “Yesterday was definitely the moment where it became real. I continued to fight hard, to give it my all, tried to give my best always and everywhere, therefore of course, disappointing. But on the other hand I know that I gave it my best and that’s what counts.”

I: “What were the reasons that Günther Steiner stated for why he couldn’t see a future, a future together?”

Mick: “Well they’re ultimately the reasons that he also stated in the interviews he gave. I think the biggest factor is experience. Ehm.. but on my part I also think that when we, or if we would’ve gone into the future together, it would’ve worked well. But in the end it was Gene’s and Günther’s decision and I have to accept that.”

I: “How did you see your development yourself? Because we certainly saw a constant improvement, especially after this difficult start to the second half of the season, where we always emphasised how calm you stayed, how collected, how convinced you were of your own work what then did end in points (what had been required). In Silverstone, in Spielberg - you had a lot of chances where it was prevented by your team, let’s phrase it that way, to drive into the points. So how do you see it yourself, regarding your development?”

Mick: “Yeah, the development is definitely palpable and also visible. Of course we would’ve liked a few more points to our name at the end of the season, but it went the way it did, that’s part of life, and that’s why I approach it like that. In the end I cannot turn back time, because I know that we left a lot of points to grab, especially at the beginning of the season, also on my part, but we continuously fought, gave it our best and that’s what counts for me at the end of this year.”

I: “I just talked to Sebastian Vettel, he said that every driver needs backup and he let on that he did was not really convinced by the leadership and the backup that came from Haas. What is the impression that you can tell us about? Did you have backup from Günther Steiner? From the team?”

Mick: “I had backup from Sebastian. I’m pretty happy about that. We always had a quite open communication between the team and I. We continuously worked on ourselves, we tried to improve everything that was there to improve. And I think if we look at the beginning of the season vs now that we kept this graph going continuously. The race pace was really good and the qualifying pace also improved towards the end, but yeah, was obviously not enough.”  

I: “What do you take with you after these 2 years with Haas – on a sporting and personal level?”

Mick: “Well of course I would like to thank everyone for those two years. It was amazing to be able to start here. Formula 1 is a dream that came true but also a dream that didn’t end, yet. It’s definitely my goal to be on the grid again in 2024. I’ll work hard on myself and will see that I will have all the chess pieces in the right position to hopefully be successful.”

I: “I think it’s impressive what class you’re showing in this situation you’re in at the moment, to thank the team, set a new focus, to – and I am certain about that – gather strength to get to the right and I’m sure better conclusions. Mick, your thoughts on your future now. What do they look like? Can you take us along what your current thoughts are about?”

Mick: “Yeah I think a saying that fits quite well is that you have to.. ehh burn? to get out prettier than before? (I think he means “like a phoenix rising from the ashes” 😂) I think there’s a saying for that! But yeah, I think there are several options and one thing I do have now is time. So I will take the time to look at the options that I have and see that I take the right decision to have the best chance to.. yeah be successful in the end.”

I: “But you definitely want to stay in Formula 1? That is certain?”

Mick: “Formula 1 is the only thing I’m interested in.”

I: “Formula 1, nothing else. That’s good, we’ll take it. What do you need personally? What kind of environment, which atmosphere do you need to be able to show your best self?”

Mick: “That’s what I have to look at. Of course, it’s hard to judge it from the outside, but ultimately I want to be in a place where I can grow, where I can show the performance I have in me and just see that we can go into the tight direction.”

I: “If we take a look at this weekend, which will be the last with Haas here in Abu Dhabi – how will you approach it?”

Mick: “Sorry?”

I: “How will you approach this last weekend with Haas here in Abu Dhabi?”

Mick: “First and foremost with fun. It’s another year that has past – last year we’ve also been here in Abu Dhabi which has been a bit different with covid and all, but this year is a bit more open, more people around probably, so the atmosphere will probably be different. The car should be quite okay, I think we’re just on the brink on tenth place. That means if we managed to get it all right again, after the second free practice, (then we can) hopefully have it all in order to have a good qualifying.”

I: “How will you say goodbye to your team, to your garage?”

Mick: “Ehh, I have to see what special (thing) I can do for the boys, they’ve naturally been amazing this whole year! We had a lot of fun together so therefore I would want to thank them in the right way.”

I: “And Mick, what has also been remarkable was that your post that – as well as you present yourself here – has shown a great deal of class/greatness, had SO many comments, also from colleagues. I don’t know everyone that has commented there, but Esteban Ocon, of course, your great buddy, but many others more, Angela Cullen, Lewis Hamilton’s physiotherapist. Have you been surprised or happy about it yourself to get this reaction?”

Mick: “Yes, of course it’s nice to see that there is support everywhere. I mean I said it several times – I love this sport. How many have said: “We come back stronger!” and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”

I: “How will the relationship develop with your team principle, with Günther Steiner?”

Mick: “Well I mean with Günther – we actually have an okay-ish relationship and I think that will stay that way.”

I: “Mick we’ll say thank you then. Good luck to what’s ahead of you. I have said it before I am certain that the energy that you’re getting here that’s being released will end in something great. We’re certain of it. We definitely wish you all the best.”

Mick: “Thank you.”

Oh yeah, that is what happened. It's been a long time since I've been on the Witch MC side instead of the Hunter MC side. They really killed Tatiana off for loving someone different in that time stream.

I can't imagine having to repeat time over and over again to save someone. Spade has been through a lot for a cat. It seems he can never catch a break.

Seth is even willing to kill a cat??? Someone call Peta up in here. Curiosity is about to kill the cat for real. Boy do we have a story for you in that department, Spade. -_-

A Silent, Tranquil End

She sits on the far side of the chamber, slumped on the floor, as if they had just fallen asleep. The decay has not made its way to her chamber yet, but it is close, and much of their structure has already been taken.

There is nothing else that can be done.

A violet overseer watches as a strange creature crawls up to their puppet.

"Oh… creature… why come here?"

The creature curls down, revealing a pearl embedded in its shell. A shimmering royal purple.

"For… me? Read? Will… look."

"I see. Says…"

"I… I am sorry, Idyllic Field. My… name? You know… my name?"

"You do… do not have long. Yes. I know."

"Forgive me, my love… Forgive me. I do not forget you, and I will not… until the end… of time. For what… why?"

"Remember that I… love you. Entangled… in Promises."

"Oh… you… Really? My… my dearest… here? With me? Oh… thank you."

They weakly lift an arm to its face, a shaky, quiet laugh escaping her – it is a warped, nearly unrecognizable sound, but a warmth persists in it. The last trace of love.

The overseer pulls back, and vanishes. He can't bear to watch this.

Like a mother cradling her child, the creature wraps the puppet in its limbs, settling around her body, careful to keep one particular limb against the side of their spine. Precisely where it needs to be.

It embraces them, indulging her confused joy as the iterator laughs and stutters in indecipherable tones. For a moment, they are comforted, happy even, her few memories brought back one final time.

A stab, a flash, and a digital scream.

Then, complete silence.

The creature slinks off the limp puppet, dark blood seeping from the puncture in her lower back. There is no need for comfort now; efficiency is the first priority. It steps backward, towering over the unconscious doll, holding out a sharp, metallic appendage like a scythe.

It raises the blade.

Without a hint of hesitation, it brings it back down, the precision of a surgeon and the elegance of a dancer in its strike.

Her umbilical is severed, cables cut, arm sliced cleanly where it meets the puppet. They scarcely even bleed or spark, so perfectly was the cut made.

The deed is done.

There is nothing left to do.

The creature curls up at the side of the lifeless iterator, emitting a half-mechanical purr.

ngl i thought that zakenna was going to be an mv set some time in idol sengen s1 before the mv dropped. like, her frustrations could’ve been a reference to her post-first concert flop era, her rival mentions could’ve been referring to lxl and/or asuna, and all the underdog mentions could also have been a reference or two to how she was a complete nobody at the start of her career…

and there was also doromizu line no. 1 from the tv arc which sealed the misconcepton deal s o b s
