Charles Leclerc looks onto Mick Schumacher as the German driver hits the barrier at a considerable speed, resulting in a major crash.
During his Q2 flying lap, Mick Schumacher lost control of his car and hit the barrier twice that split his car twice. The German race driver was conscious and could talk afterwards, but he had to be stretchered from the track.
Schumacher then was taken to the hospital in the vicinity, and he is due to go through some precautionary tests. Nevertheless, Haas confirms that their driver is fine. However, he reportedly would not race on Sunday.

Charles Leclerc checks on Mick Schumacher
When Schumacher crashed into the barriers, Charles Leclerc was the first driver to arrive at the scene. The Monegasque slowly reached to his fellow Ferrari academy graduate and inquired whether he is alright.
Schumacher responded to Leclerc’s signal. That’s why the latter was soon seen driving away from the site and informed his race engineer that Schumacher is moving alright.

Halo saved the Haas driver again
The controversy around Halo’s introduction was huge back in the day. But soon, everyone realised its importance as a piece of safety equipment.
As observed in the crash’s photographs online, it was seen a tyre almost bumped into the face of Schumacher. However, the Halo prevented it from reaching over Schumacher and saved him from any possible face injury.
