Haas has decided to remove Schumacher from the race, with team leader Gunther Steiner saying it “does not make sense” to build a new car and start from the pitlane as spare parts are in short supply before the Australian GP in a fortnight . But speaking in the mantra on Sunday afternoon, Schumacher said he would be ready to fight if needed. “Yes, I’m definitely ready, otherwise I’m ready to go racing,” he told selected media outlets, including Motorsport.com. “It’s just component management, car parts in general, we have to look and make sure we are definitely able to compete in Melbourne. “I knew it was the second race, spare parts are usually quite difficult this time of year. So I realized it might have been difficult, but nonetheless, I was hoping for a race today.” As soon as I lost the back, I knew what was coming Mick Schumacher Schumacher did not appear to be moving directly after the crash, but said he was simply composing himself as he waited for the generals to arrive on the scene. “I was 100%. It was mostly frustrating, and it bothered me that it happened, and I was obviously just thinking about what I had been through and what I could have done better,” he said. “I think I just wanted to make sure before I started moving irregularly that everything was fine. And obviously, all the marshals and also the doctors came and made sure I was fine. “It was big. From what I heard, we were about 270 km / h when I hit this wall. I think in a road car, that would not look very good. But I mean, thankfully, cars are so safe these days. that I was able to get out of it and stay here without any problems. “So to speak, as soon as I lost the back, I knew what was coming. So I could prepare for that.” Schumacher’s Haas was deleted in the incident Photo: Sam Bloxham / Motorsport Images Schumacher lost control of his car by passing over the exit curbs of turn 9, which almost caused a similar deviation for Alpine’s Esteban Ocon. He thought that the lack of a rake in this year’s cars means that it is easier to overcome the back of the car over the high curbs. “From what I remember, last year was less worrying just because of the way the cars were built, we had a very high rake, the back of the car was usually quite high in the air,” he explained. “Today, cars fall quite low, especially in this circuit. So the moment you hit this curb, which is quite high, the rear tires lose contact with the surface. “That means there will be a snapshot. And I think we saw it from some other drivers in Q3, where they had a close moment. “And I think it’s something that people should definitely review and see [if it needs] to be corrected, if we return here “.
