In Monaco, for the first time in the season, both Haas riders did not finish the race. Kevin Magnussen retired with a leak in the ERS cooling system and Mick Schumacher crashed the car at turn 15.
Kevin Magnussen (retirement): “I had a problem with the power plant, so I had to retire. Sorry, but nothing could be done. We had a good racing pace – right up to the retirement, I held back Gasly and reduced the gap from Bottas.
It is a pity that today it was not possible to earn points, because the car allowed us to count on it. We know we can fight.”
Mick Schumacher (retirement): “I’m fine, but this result is upsetting. The car had speed and it was all about staying on track. Unfortunately, I did not manage to do this, although I showed a high pace and could attack.
Unfortunately, I overdid it and was wrong by about ten centimeters. However, this was enough for the car to lose traction. You have seen the consequences of this.”
Gunther Steiner, team leader: “Disappointing day. Kevin was really fast, and we were just waiting for the moment to overtake Valtteri Bottas in the pits by cutting or cutting. Kevin followed him closely with no problem, but then there was a coolant leak in the ERS system.
We saw what happened to Mick. It’s not very pleasant to get into such a serious accident again. Let’s see what we do next.”
