The German escaped unharmed, however, and, after preventive checks at a nearby hospital on Saturday night, was discharged and was able to return to his hotel. With Schumacher in the form, Haas could have chosen to get him a new car and take him out of the pitlane for the Saudi Arabia GP. But Steiner decided not to do it because he felt it was too little to gain from the effort – with a greater chance of disadvantage. With little realistic hopes for points, plus a high risk of further injury, Steiner feared another incident could ruin better chances when Schumacher returns to full form for the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks. “You could work all night and then [on race morning] “Know that you have compromised so much because you did everything in a hurry,” Steiner said of his decision to withdraw the car. “Then you end up not having all the spare parts in Australia and then you have a small thing [happen] in Australia, and then you can not compete when in theory you should be in a better position. It does not make sense to me. “It’s like trying too hard to call it that.” Debris from the crash of Mick Schumacher, Haas VF-22, in orbit Photo: Sam Bloxham / Motorsport Images Another factor in Steiner’s decision not to try to oust Schumacher was that the cargo for the Australian Grand Prix went straight from Saudi Arabia, which meant there was no way we could check things back at the factory before the next race. . “You have to send everything from here to Melbourne,” he said. “We can not send it to the UK now to do all the things in the car as you need, to check all these other good things. “It would not be a good thing to know that you can not get to the points if you start with pitlane this year, as there are so many good teams out there.” As it is so early in the season with the new cars, the teams usually at this stage of the year have not created a huge stock of spare parts. Steiner said it was also a factor, as he did not want to risk running out of spare parts. “If we do not fight [in Saudi] “We will be okay, 100 percent okay for Melbourne,” he said. “It is always difficult to keep up, but we are happy to go to Melbourne with several tracks.” Read also:
