The race has never ended so quickly for him …
At the Mexican Grand Prix, Mick Schumacher (22) crashes in the first lap. But the Haas pilot is not to blame. In the chaos on the first lap, Esteban Ocon (25) caught him on the left rear tire. The suspension is over and the race is over in just a few seconds.
Mick to BILD: “That’s a shame. I would have loved to go along and could have learned a lot. In the end it is what it is. “
For the son of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher (52), it is the first retirement in a race after a crash. All important experience that he is gathering at Haas in this transition season. “We just have to concentrate on the positive things and then hopefully we will be well positioned again next year. That’s what we’re concentrating on, ”said Mick.
Team boss Günther Steiner (56) sees it calmly. Also because you can get the car repaired quickly enough for the next race without any problems. The Brazilian Grand Prix will take place next Sunday (6 p.m. / Sky).
Steiner: “His mood is okay. I think it was a pure racing accident. It was the first of its kind, it’s not nice, but those are experiences in Formula 1 that you have to gain. “
After the accident, Mick shows greatness, goes to his team and builds it up. Strong gesture!
Bitter: With Ocon, Mick, of all people, kicks off the track with whom he spent the time between the two races in Austin / USA and Mexico and with whom he also likes to spend time.
But for Mick this is not an issue: “You can’t blame anyone for that. The distance is halved the moment Valtteri turns. If there are three of you in a curve and one of them is across, it just doesn’t fit. “
