In Sunday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Mick Schumacher will not participate after a very horror crash in the qualifying round at Jeddah's high-speed street circuit on Saturday night. The great Michael Schumacher's son crashed his car at 240km during the Saudi Arabian GP qualifying.
With Mick Schumacher ruled out of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Sunday's race, Haas said they would run just one car with a team's hopes resting on Kevin Magnussen, Danish driver.
Haas said
"Schumacher was taken to the trackside medical center following a significant accident at Turn 12,"
"After his analysis revealed no injuries, he was transferred to King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah for pre-cautionary checks.
"The team has afterward decided to contest the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with the sole entry of Kevin Magnussen."
