The tense seconds of no communication with the team and the familiar call: what was not seen from Mick Schumacher’s accident

* The violent accident that Mick Schumacher suffered in the qualifyingThe replay shows again and again that Mick Schumacher takes turn 12, but bites the piano before losing control. His Haas crashes at more than 230 kilometers per hour sideways into a wall and tension takes over the scene in that phase 2 of the qualification in the Saudi Arabian GP. It took a few minutes, which seemed eternal, until his team’s own communication arrived informing that he was “conscious” and “out of the car”. Those seconds between when television showed the brutal shock and the team received the first health report seemed eternal. The ferocity of the impact cut off communication. Guenther Steiner, the team leader, had to wait for the auxiliaries to arrive to find out what happened to the 22-year-old German runner while television applied the protocol for these cases of focusing the scene from afar while he was not certain that nothing serious happened.“We didn’t talk to him on the radio because with the coup everything digital broke. We didn’t know anything, but then we got the message that I was aware, which was the most important thing. And then, when he got out of the car, we were told he didn’t have any external injuries. He went on the piano and then lost the car. You’re going too fast. We lost all the data on impact and didn’t have any contact with him. Everything was cut off,” Steiner said about the scene he experienced according to statements replicated by the specialized portal MotorSport.Mick stayed for more than an hour at the circuit medical center located in Jeddah until he was transported by helicopter to the King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital with confirmation that there were no injuries at the first checkup. Television brought peace of mind by sharing a scene where he was seen going out on a stretcher, in a relative good mood, surrounded by auxiliaries.“Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that I’m fine. Thank you for the kind messages. The car felt great Haas Team, we will come back stronger,” Schumacher himself wrote several hours later on his social networks and shared a smiling photo to convey calm to his fans. At the same time, his team confirmed that tomorrow will not run the Saudi Arabian GP — for which he had been classified in 14th place — and they clarified that they will not place a replacement: only Kevin Magnussen will be on track. Concern for her health crossed the planet, but mainly kept her family on her toes: “I talked to her mother and kept her informed.”Mick Schumacher’s post after the accidentMick’s car lost several tires immediately as soon as the impact occurred and various remains of the chassis were scattered on the asphalt. Once the tow truck tried to remove it, the vehicle broke in half. The scenes of the car, shocking by the way, only exposed the fate of the German who lives with his second season in Formula 1. “I think our car is good, you always try to get the best out of it. Maybe he tried too hard here. If you make a mistake, you know, there are no escapes, they are walls, and that’s what he had,” the leader of Haas analyzed.The detail that no one missed was the role that Halo once again played in this event. At least one of the tires that came off the car almost hit Mick’s head, but the implement that Formula 1 applied prevented it from hitting his body. “This shows how safe the cars are, and this year the hardness has increased after the Romain (Grosjean) crash, it sure helped and the luck is that the driver is fine,” said Steiner.The Halo was key so that the tire that came off does not stick to his face (Photo: Capture TV)KEEP READING:Formula 1 surprise: Checo Pérez won the first pole position of his career and Hamilton will start 16th in Saudi ArabiaFormula 1 concern over Mick Schumacher’s brutal accident at the Saudi Arabian GP
