Mick Schumacher believes that a 20-year-old F1 car wouldn’t have been unharmed by a major crash in the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying.
Haas F1 Team Mick Schumacher suffered a terrifying crash in Saturday’s qualifying. Schumacher, who lost control of his car on the curb of Turn 10, touched the barrier at over 160mph (257.5km / h). The impact of 33G moved the concrete barrier, and the bouncing Schumacher was given a secondary impact until the car stopped on turn 12.
Mick Schumacher was taken by helicopter to the hospital for preventive examination, but was unharmed and was discharged late the same night.
“I feel okay. It doesn’t hurt so much,” Mick Schumacher, who showed up on the circuit on Sunday, told Sky Sport F1.
“It shows the safety of these cars these days. I didn’t get hurt, but I don’t think it would have happened 20 years ago. So thank everyone involved in ensuring safety. I have. “
Mick Schumacher from Sunday night’s Grand Prix due to concerns about lack of parts if the Haas F1 Team was hit by another major accident before heading to Melbourne for the next Australian Grand Prix, not a health issue. Excluded.
Regarding the crash, Mick Schumacher commented, “Interestingly, when you have an accident or know something is wrong, most of the time it changes a little and feels a little late.”
“I was able to prepare for the shock when I saw the wall coming toward me. I was disappointed because it was a car that was going to Q3, but now I have to do it in Melbourne.”
This year, F1 has taken additional steps to improve the safety of the car. This is said to be responsible for almost half of the weight increase of the 43kg car this year.
But the car may be safe, but what about the circuit? The Jeddah Cornish circuit is “most dangerous” on the calendar, according to Sergio Perez, and Carlos Sainz wonders if it is “worthy”.
Regarding Mick Schumacher, about the Saudi Arabian circuit, “I think we have to investigate. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but if we come back, we will have to discuss it seriously.”
Jenson Button, a former F1 driver who turned to Sky Sports commentator, explained that Mick Schumacher’s car did not stop completely, but that the car moved to disperse the impact and prevented the injury.
“Last year, I think we all knew it was an incredibly fast circuit for a street circuit. Concrete barriers are much tougher to hit than tire barriers,” said Jenson Button.
“People will probably say,’Why aren’t there tires where he hits the wall?’ But it’s too fast to stop the car. You don’t want to knock out through the roof with the G Force. “
“I need a concrete barrier, but it may be the angle of the barrier that needs to be changed, but when I look at it, he hits the barrier for only a moment.”
“He lost control and hit the wall right away, stepped on the brakes and hit the wall shortly after locking up, which shows how fast these cars are moving through that section. “
