Mick Schumacher would have gladly done without this mishap: “I’m okay. I’m sorry, ”the German said to his engineer on the radio after he roughly sunk the Haas into the piles of tires at turn eleven on the Hungaroring 17 minutes before the end of the third practice session. In a contrite voice, Schumacher adds: “I already know what that means.”
What the rookie means: Participation in qualifying for the Hungarian GP (live from 3 p.m. on Sky) is almost impossible for Schumacher. There are only two hours between the third practice session and timed practice – too little time for the mechanics to repair the badly damaged Haas. A scenario that Schumacher already knows from the Monaco GP. Here, too, an accident in the final training cost him participation in qualifying.
