(ANSA-AFP) – ROME, MARCH 27 – “I would be ready to race and my forfeit does not depend on my state of health”. In a press conference before the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Mick Schumacher takes stock of his health and the reasons why he will miss the race today after yesterday’s terrible accident in qualifying, fortunately without consequences for his physical integrity. .

His car, on the other hand, almost disintegrated and Haas preferred not to rebuild it and thus keep the spare parts for the next race in Australia from 8 to 10 April. “We have to manage our components and parts of the car – said Schumacher during the press conference in the paddock of the Jeddah circuit – It is the second race and we are short on spare parts at this time of the year, so we thought that it would have been difficult to start the GP “.

The accident at Schumacher has revived concerns about a very fast and narrow circuit, where accidents are unforgiving and visibility is sometimes lacking. “It is not up to me to judge safety, but to the race officials and the people who decide – said the German driver – But I think there will be things to consider. Luckily the cars are so safe these days that I was able to get away with it. “.
