Mick Schumacher has his seat in Formula 1 for 2021, but the German has not had a good day in Formula 2. The German made a mistake to put an end to his already bad qualification.
Schumacher was presented on Tuesday as the new driver of Haas for 2021. Schumacher was favoured by Ferrari over Callum Ilott and Robert Shwartzman, both of whom he will also aim to keep behind him in the championship. Schumacher, however, has made it very difficult for himself with the race on Saturday.
Schumacher makes a huge mistake
When the drivers came out, Schumacher couldn't manage to drive a good lap and when he was blocked during a fast lap, Schumacher made a mistake himself.
Right before the last corner he wanted to pass Roy Nissany, the pair clashed and Nissany lost control of his car and flying over Schumacher's rear wing. As a result, the session ended and Schumacher will have to start from P18 and also pass the stewards. How detrimental will this be to his title aspirations?
