The Haas driver drastically knocked out the second leg of the Saudi GP time trial. Schumacher slammed into the concrete wall with force. The young German was treated along the track for a long time before being submitted for further examination.
Häkkinen immediately recalled his own accident in Australia, which almost resulted in the death of a formula legend in 1995.
– At that time, there was no HANS headrest in use, and no shields next to the helmet. Then the necks will flutter and the brain will swing and there may be bad injury. As it happened to me. When I saw Mick’s accident, my own accident automatically came to mind.
Cage’s skull broke when his head hit McLaren’s wheel and the edge of the cockpit in Adelaide violently in 1995. Since then, safety has taken huge leaps forward, and the sporting legend is very pleased with that.
At the time of the interview, Schumacher’s condition worried about Cage.
– Of course, his father immediately came to mind. And I thought of Mick’s mom, whom I met a moment ago. I thought now is not a good place, now is awful. Fortunately, we heard good news that the young man has regained consciousness, Häkkinen sighed.
Häkkinen’s competitor Michael Schumacher was seriously injured in a ski accident in 2013. Schumacher hit his head and fell into a coma. There have been no official updates on his condition for years.
