Mick Schumacher’s crash in qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix two weeks ago left Haas with only one car in the race. The team decided not to restore Mick’s car and explained that in the event of another incident, they would simply run out of spare parts to restore the car for the Australian stage.
Haas boss Günter Steiner confirmed in Melbourne today that Miku had built a new car on a standard chassis that was unique. In the event of a serious accident at Albert Park, the team cannot prepare a replacement.
“The spare parts situation is exactly as we expected after a serious accident in the second stage,” Steiner told Racefans. We have everything we need to assemble the car, but there are practically no spare parts.
Mick’s wrecked car was shipped to Europe earlier this week to be ready for Imola. Due to customs formalities, we had to take it from Saudi Arabia to Australia first and then send it to Europe from there.
Our riders are aware of the situation and know that the team does not have a spare chassis, but sometimes it happens. I’m not panicking – if something happens, we’ll solve the problem along the way. You can’t tell riders to slow down because it makes no sense. But they shouldn’t take risks if they don’t have to.”
