Even if Mick Schumacher is doing well, his serious accident is affecting other drivers in Formula 1. World champion Max Verstappen has now sharply criticized the course in Saudi Arabia.
After Mick Schumacher on the race track from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia had a serious accident (Here you can read more about it), now has world champion Max Verstappen criticized the designers of the course. This is reported by the “image”.
The Dutchman said: “If you lose the car like Mick and crash into the track, it’s painful and very, very dangerous. And not only that, the straights aren’t really straight because they have a lot of blind little corners.”
“I don’t understand why they design it that way”
Schumacher crashed sideways into the barriers on the ultra-fast street circuit at high speed. The car was thrown across the track and then came to a stop badly damaged. The Haas pilot, meanwhile, announced in a message to his fans that he was fine (Here you can read more about it).
However, Verstappen went a step further, saying in relation to the fast street circuit: “I don’t understand why it was designed that way. If you’re supposed to go full throttle, just do a straight line, it’s safer for everyone.” Not the first time that the race in Saudi Arabia made negative headlines.
Today’s Mercedes driver was already named last year George Russell the route after a mass accident “unnecessarily risky”.
