Saudi ArabiaMick Schumacher missed the appointment with the Saudi Grand Prix after hitting the wall in the qualifying stage on March 26.
Mick lost control of the VF-22 at 274 km/h while racing Q2. His car crashed into a barrier on Turn 12. The son of legend Michael Schumacher was not thrown from the car. When the doctor approached, Mick was awake and answering brain tests normally.

The 23-year-old racer was then taken to an ambulance to be hospitalized. After a few hours of examination, he was allowed to leave the hospital and return to the hotel. Above TwitterMick announced: “Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that everything is fine. Thanks for the messages. The car feels good, Haas. We will come back stronger”.
With Mick’s absence, the Haas team will only have one car driven by driver Kevin Magnussen in the main race on March 27, starting in 10th place. However, team leader Guenther Steiner said this is not big problem.
“We decided not to register Mick’s car for the main race. Kevin didn’t drive too much in the test race yesterday but did well to make it to the third quarter. His last race was not what I expected but I do. I think it’s the result of the limited practice time on the track. We’re still happy with the 10th place,” Steiner told Sky Sports.
The Saudi Arabia GP is the second stage of the F1 2022 season. Red Bull driver Sergio Perez won the pole in the qualifying stage while teammate – defending champion Max Verstappen only finished fourth. Starting right after Perez will be the Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
The opening leg of the Bahrain GP season on March 20 saw Ferrari win big when Leclerc and Sainz took the top two places, respectively.
