As Mick was pushing his Haas to the limit, he seemed to have lost control as he entered the 22nd corner of Jeddah.

No points for Mick at Jeddah
The German driver would have hoped that he had scored his first F1 points so far this season. However, it seems that Mick would have to wait for the final race in Abu Dhabi to do so.
After his horrible crash at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the 22-year-old will aim to bounce back for the final race of the season. Having shown the potential that he can crack Q2 in qualifying, Schumacher will be looking forward to zipping around Yas Marina, hoping to bag his first F1 points in his rookie year.
