Schumacher suffered a massive shunt during qualifying for the Saudi Arabian🥂 Grand Prix in Jeddah when he lost control of his Haas car after getting on the kerb at the exit the high-speed Turn 10 during the closing stages of Q2. 

The German was airlift෴ed to hospital but did not suffer any injuries in the accident, though he did not take part in the grand prix itself after Haas elected to withdraw his car from the event.

Haas team principal Guenther Stei▨ner estimated that the damage incurred in the 33G crash could end up costing the American outfit up to $1million. 

Speaking ahead of the returning Australian Grand Prix, Steiner confirmed Haa🃏s will not have the safety net of a back up chas♍sis on hand for this weekend’s event in Melbourne. 

“The situation with spare parts is expected on race number two after a big crash,” he explained. “We have everything, but we have no abundance of spare 🌄parts. 

“The next question is how is the spare chas♕sis? We haven’t got one because we have sent it back to Europe at the beginning of the week, so we’ll get it ready for Imola. 

“We had to bring it here because of custom formalities, it had 🌠to ༺enter here and then it could be shipped back to Europe from here and it’s on its way back now.” 

Despite the lack of a spare chassis, Steiner insists it would notꦺ make sense to tell his drivers to approach the weekend differently to anꦕy other. 

“I think we cannot approach differe🌞ntly,” he said. “The drivers are aware of the situation that the꧃re is no spare chassis but that can happen sometimes. 

“I’m not too 🌺panicking and if something happens, we will deal with it as it comes along. 

“You cannot say ‘go out there and drive slowly’, that doesn’ꩵt make sense as well, just like ‘don’t take extra risks if you don’t have to’.” 

Schumacher ‘not feeling the pressure’ 

When asked how difficult it is for a driver to erase such an incident from their mind going into the next race, Schumacher replied: “Obviously you try your be♔st not to crash but you also want to go as quick as you can. 

“We were on a good la💧p, we were on the final run of Q2 and to be able to get into Q3 you had to try something and we did. 

“The kerb was just too high for the car and we saw it with Fernando [Alonso] and also Esteban [Ocon], that🌠 it happened nearly for them, so I guess it’s something we will have to review.” 

And Schumacher playꦬed down any concerns about 📖how a lack of spare parts could impact Haas’ weekend. 

“I think th𓃲at everything is going to be just fine,” he insisted. “We’ll be quick hopefully and we for sure won’t need that spare one.” 

Schumacher has endured a d🥃ifficult start to th🌼e season compared to new teammate Kevin Magnussen, whose starring drives to finish fifth in Bahrain and ninth in Saudi Arabia see Haas occupy fifth place in the constructors’ championship with 12 points. 

But the 23-year-old insists he is not feeling the pressure to perform, despite only managing a 12th-place 🔯finish so far after picking up damage to his car in Bahrainꩵ. 

“It’s great to have Kevin as a teammate,” Schumacher said. “He’s obviously been working with the team for a long time. He’s got a great bunch of experienc𒐪e in F1 throughout the y🔯ears but also has experience of endurance racing. 

“He’s a very open teammate, someone I ca💮n work with and we can both benefit from eachꦺ other. I just use that pressure as a motivator and try and do my best so we can push each other to do better.”

Schumacher added: "We always want to score points. We were close in Bahrain and that was after ꦰcontact. 

“I think the expectations are high f🐓or being in the points this weekend and I’m sure we’ll get there.”
