Mick Schumacher is set to get the hairdryer treatment from Haas boss Gunther Steiner, according to Martin Brundle.
His difficult start to the season continued in Monaco, where he suffered another major crash which ended his hopes of finally breaking his scoring duck in Formula 1.
Schumacher clipped a barrier heading into the Swimming Pool area of the street circuit and split his Haas car in half, such was the force of the impact.
Writing in his Sky Sports column, Brundle said: “It was a day to forget for Schumacher who alarmingly tore his car in two pieces for yet more damage repair bills for the Haas team, and I can imagine he's getting the full 'hairdryer' treatment from team boss Gunther Steiner in the style of an angry Ken Tyrrell or Alex Ferguson.”
The son of legendary Formula 1 driver Michael has picked up an unwanted paddock nickname as F1’s ‘crash kid’.
Last weekend's crash came just months after Schumacher also destroyed his car during qualifying at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
And former F1 star Christian Danner has warned Schumacher that he could lose the support of Haas team boss Guenther Steiner if he can't finish a race weekend without a crash.
Danner told Sport1: “He can keep up in terms of speed, but things can’t go on like this with the incidents. He’s causing millions in damage, and a team like Haas can spend that money more wisely.
“He needs to find the solution for himself – no advice would help him. But he has to finish a race without incident. Gunther will be reading the riot act.”
Schumacher expressed his disappointment after the incident.
He said: "Obviously it’s very annoying.
“I think in terms of pace we were definitely there, it’s just a matter of keeping it on track, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to do that. The pace felt strong, and it felt like we were able to attack and push.
“We just ended up being a little too wide, which is maybe a matter of 10cm at the end, and that was enough to lose all grip that you thought you had. And unfortunately the result is as it happened.”
Haas were forced to pay £750,000 to repair Schumacher's car after the Saudi Arabia qualifying crash in March.
