The Haas team principal talked with the media and reported about Mick’s health. Guenther Steiner reported, “I spoke with his Mum and kept her updated. He has no injuries that you can see, but they want to do some scans to make sure there was no impact from the forces. The impact broke up the digital [technology] so we heard nothing [on the radio] but we got word he was conscious.”

Can Mick Schumacher race in Saudi Arabian GP?

The 23-year-old is safe and didn’t receive any injuries from the harsh crash at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. But the doctors want to run some scans before they can declare the young Haas driver fit.

However, it is near impossible for Mick Schumacher to join the grid on the Sunday race. Even if he’s fit and wants to race, it would be near impossible. His 2022 challenger was in pieces after the crash. Schumacher’s VF-22 doesn’t seem like can be repaired in a few hours to prepare it for a race.

Even Guenther Steiner isn’t sure about the Sunday race. He mentioned that the American constructors would need to build a new car. Steiner said, “The car is completely broken. We need to see the scans, see how he is doing and then see what we do tomorrow. We need to see what position we are in with spare parts, you need to build a completely new car. It shows how safe the cars are, with the increased chassis stiffness for this year.”
