Guenther Steiner said he was "disappointed" and "frustrated" after watching Mick Schumacher crash his car on the way back to the pits at the end of practice at Suzuka.
The FP1 session was already over, and all the German had to do was get his Haas back to the garage safely in the wet weather. But that mission did not go to plan, as he hit some standing water and span off the track before slamming hard into a barrier.
The impact caused extensive damage to the VF-22, meaning it could not be fixed in time for Schumacher to get back out on track for FP2. It meant little running for the racer on a track where he has never driven an F1 car before, hampering his chances for the rest of the weekend.
