F1: Schumacher crash could cost Haas $1m – Gulf Digital News
LONDON: Mick Schumacher’s crash in last weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying could be a $1 million hit for Haas, according to team boss Guenther Steiner.
The German driver missed Sunday’s race in Jeddah, despite being unhurt in the impact, with the shattered car needing a complete rebuild.
“The chassis in itself doesn’t seem to be broken, the side impact structure ... the engine also, I was told from Ferrari, seems to be okay, the battery pack as well, and then all the rest is broken,” Steiner told reporters.
“I think the cost is still pretty high because all the suspension is gone, except the front left. I think there’s still something on there. The rest is just like powder, carbon powder.
“I don’t know money-wise as yet but these cars, between gearbox, the whole bodywork’s gone, radiator ... between half a million to a million (dollars) I would say,” added Steiner when asked about the cost of new parts.
