After the dust settled, Mick Schumacher explained his crash during qualifying for the IndyCar race in Detroit. Frustrated by a missed opportunity, Schumacher was on his way to a strong lap. The crash occurred two minutes before the end of the first qualifying segment in turns 6 and 7 of the tight street circuit.
His initial reaction shortly after being checked out at the medical center, where no injuries were diagnosed: "I clipped the wall in Turn 6, which pushed me far to the outside in Turn 7. There I touched the wall again, and that unfortunately sent me straight into the wall at the exit of Turn 7."
