Guenther Steiner has reacted for the first time to the rock-hard crash of Mick Schumacher. The team boss is shocked, but knows to report that everything is going well with Schumacher Jr. The chances are that we will not see the 23-year-old driver in action again this weekend in Saudi Arabia.

"I didn't speak to him directly, I spoke to his mum. He has no injuries that you can see, they wanted to do some scans to check if there's any damage from the impact. He just lost the car, wheel spin you know how quick it goes" Steiner told Sky Sports. After the crash, there was also no radio contact possible between Schumacher and the team. That had everything to do with the impact that broke everything.

Possibly only Magnussen in action

The Haas F1 team boss knows that the circuit in Jeddah is not forgiving." If you make an error, there is no run-off here," Whether we will see two cars from the American racing stable in action on Sunday will depend on the one hand on Schumacher's physical condition and on the other whether the car can be repaired in time.

In any case, Steiner is strong of the opinion that only Kevin Magnussen will appear at the start. "Don't want to take risk tomorrow, two weeks in Melbourne better to make sure we're in good state there,"
