F1 Japanese GP: Mick Schumacher crash damage “quite frustrating” for Haas, admits team boss Guenther Steiner

Schumacher slammed into the barriers at the very end of a wet first𓃲 practice at the Japanese Grand Prix when he lost control of his Haas during an in-lap following a practice start.
The impact caused significant damage to the front of his car, requiring a chassis change that meant Schumacher was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:unable to take part in FP2.
It was bad timing for Schumacher, with the German in real danger of losing his Haas seat to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg for F1 2023.
“It’s disappointing because we just went out to do a race start so we get data✨ for Sunday,” Steiner t🧸old F1TV
“And then on the way in f𒆙rom the race start Mick crashed the car, 🍌aquaplaned and crashed into the barrier and damaged the car quite heavily.
“The whole front is broken but we also have t🍸o change the whole chassis because we’re not sure if there is a crack in it or not and you cannot take any risks with the chassis.
“There is nothing changed𒅌 in any way, except that maybe ♌we could have gone out in FP2 for 10 minutes, but that is not important.
“It’s better t♒o be 100% safe that the car is in a good shape tomorrow. So we have to change the chass🦂is and the whole front end and the front wing and the nose.”
That’s not good. Mick loses control of the car and hits the barriers, on his way back to the pits after the session has finished.

He’s out of the car and ok.
Haas have already had to change Sc൲humacher’s chassis on two occasions this year following huge crashes in Saudi Arabia and Monaco.
“It’s the third time now that we have potential chassis damage,” Steine♏r said.
“I say potential because we need to X-ray it and see if it is cracked or not. But it is quite frust﷽rating.”
But Steiner confirmed Schumacher’s carꦚꦡ will be fixed in time for FP3 on Saturday morning.
“Tomorrow morning theꦐ 💃car will be there,” he added.
“The guys will have a late evening but they will fix the car again and we have got all the parts, that is not an issue. So it will🐓 be there.”
