On Saturday, Mick Schumacher, the son of Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, was involved in a horrific crash while qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Schumacher was flown to the hospital for precautionary examinations after crashing into a concrete barrier at high speed.
After seeming to scrape a kerb at Turn Nine, the son of a seven-time world champion lost control of his Haas vehicle and crashed into the wall.
A breath of relief as the 23-year-old German driver stated that he is ‘OK,’ but that he would not compete in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday. Mick has been freed from the hospital and has returned to his hotel, according to Haas.
The driver himself tweeted later: “Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I’m ok. Thank you for the kind messages. The car felt great @HaasF1Team, we’ll come back stronger.”
During the Q2 session, two wheels were wrenched away from the vehicle due to the force of the incident. A medical team arrived to transport him from his heavily damaged automobile to the Jeddah Street Circuit’s medical center.
He was aware and conversing, according to reports. As he exited in an ambulance, he was said to be able to remove his own gloves.
“We’ve heard that Mick is conscious, out of the car and currently on his way to the medical centre,” tweeted the Haas team.
