Guwahati: Mick Schumacher, son of Formula One (F1) legend Michael Schumacher, will miss the scheduled Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday after suffering a tragic accident in qualifying for the high-speed street circuit in Jeddah.
The accident happened on Saturday night.
During Saudi Arabia’s GP qualifying, Mack hit his car at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour.
The car will be driven by Danish driver Kevin Magnuson, on whom the entire team has high hopes.
In a statement, Haas said, “Schumacher was taken to Trackside Medical Center after a major accident on turn 12.”
Although Mack was not injured during the initial diagnosis, he was admitted to King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah for precautionary examination.
The statement added: “The team later decided to participate in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Kevin Magnuson’s only entry.
After being admitted to the hospital, Mike said in a tweet, “Hello everyone, I just wanted to say I’m fine. Thank you for the kind messages. The car was great. @ HaasF1Team, we’ll be back.” ۔
