Mick hit the wall at a very high speed part of the circuit, with his car being demolished in the process. Haas Team Principal, Guenther Steiner also revealed that the crash caused the car to lose all data on impact, including any radio to communicate with their driver.
Speaking with Sky during the long red flag period, Steiner confirmed that he’d spoken to Mick’s mother a few times and that there are no apparent injuries that could be seen by the circuit’s medical team.
