Unseen footage of Mick Schumacher’s 170mph crash at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has emerged, which shows the terrifying onboard view of the German. Schumacher was airlifted to hospital during Saturday’s qualifying session following the collision.
Fortunately the 23-year-old - son of legendary F1 driver Michael - was later discharged, however he was ruled out of the Grand Prix which took place a day later on Sunday. Following the crash, which sent him flying across the track, medics rushed onto the track and the red flag was raised.
There were initially big concerns over his wellbeing but it quickly filtered through that he was conscious and talking. And then despite being given the all clear, Haas made the decision to not race Schumacher to allow both the German and his car time to recover ahead of the Australian Grand Prix on April 10.
