Schumi’s son’s Haas came out destroyed. And the expense cut allows for a limited variance. Steiner: “In case of other accidents we are in trouble”
It’s hard to be called Schumacher, especially in Germany: you are forgiven for nothing. Last Saturday Mick came out unscathed from the frightening accident he suffered during qualifying for the Arabian GP (according to data provided by Haas, he crashed at 270 per hour, suffering a deceleration of 33g, or thirty-three times his own weight. body weight which is equal to 67 kg) but his Haas is not. The engine, battery pack and perhaps the chassis were saved “the rest is actually all broken”, acknowledged Gunther Steiner, Haas team principal, adding with a bit of exaggeration that of some details only “carbon dust” remained. “Cost? From half to a million euros,” added the team principal. The trouble is that the budget cap allows only a partial deviation for the rebuild. “There is an emergency plan – explained Steiner – but if you have two or three accidents like this, you go at a loss”. The main material of a car is very expensive. Sport Bild, making a list of the damaged parts, wrote that the accident would have caused one million euros in damage.

Mick Schumi, who also crashed in Arabia during the 2021 GP, causing the race to be interrupted, was accused at the end of last season of being a junkyard who, thanks to numerous accidents, had earned the primacy of driver more “expensive” for the German team: the damages in 2021 would have amounted to 4.5 million euros. Steiner himself at the Hungarian GP last July had blurted out claiming that Mick was having too many accidents.
Ralf’s reaction
–
A statement that had pushed uncle Ralf (Michael’s brother and also an F1 driver with Jordan, Williams, Toyota with 6 wins and as many poles in 180 GP) to take his defense: “These things are said first to the driver than to the media “. “” I do things my way and I certainly don’t ask him how to do my job. I only judged that in my opinion he is making too many useless mistakes “, was the rejoinder of the South Tyrolean. Ralf then also attacked the newspaper, guilty of having published the figure of 4.5 million: “This is why I refuse to speak or collaborate with them. Mick, on the other hand, is a rider who always assumes his responsibilities “.
