Bitter day for Mick Schumacher. The Formula 1 newcomer was thrown off the track in free practice and his car was not ready in time for qualifying. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton is right at the start.

Mith thirty times his own body weight, Mick Schumacher crashed into the tire wall. During the last free practice session before qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Haas driver experienced a violent takeoff. “I’m okay,” the 22-year-old radioed immediately to the command post of the US Haas team on Saturday. Schumacher’s Formula 1 car was severely damaged when it hit the tire wall. “I’m very sorry,” he said.

Even after the crash, team boss Günther Steiner announced to “Sky”: “I don’t think that qualifying will work for Mick.” He was proven right. The mechanics had two hours for the repair work before they were knocked out – but that was not enough.

Schumacher missed qualifying and has to start out of the pit lane on Sunday. Despite the best efforts of the Haas crew, the damaged car could not be repaired in time. To make matters worse, the gearbox also had to be replaced.
