The criticism of Mick Schumacher for his Hungarian training crash is not “appropriate” by Günther Steiner, especially in view of the speed of the Haas.
This is what former Formula 1 driver Christian Klien says.
Not for the first time this season, Schumacher missed a qualifying after crashing his Haas VF-21 in the final practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The German lost control on Turn 11 and hit the wall hard with a 30G impact.
As with his accident in Monaco, with only two hours of work on the car between FP3 and qualifying, his Haas mechanics did not have time to repair the car and Schumacher did not take part in qualifying.
His team boss Steiner was not at all impressed.
“(Drivers) have to be able to assess when it is worth taking a risk,” said the Haas team boss.
“The third free practice session is not the right time for this. Maybe we have to sit down again and explain the big picture – that these accidents are very costly! “
However, Klien believes the Italian is out of order.
He told Speedweek.com that Steiner’s comments were “not that appropriate”. He [Schumacher] don’t do it on purpose.
“What do you want with a car that doesn’t work? You have to push, and when you push it sometimes goes over the limit. That’s how it goes in the first year. “
He added, “It’s stupid that Haas doesn’t have the budget, it hurts twice.”

Schumacher is one of only two drivers who could still score this season, the other is his team-mate Nikita Mazepin.
In the drivers’ standings, the German is 12th in the Hungarian Grand Prix, ahead of the Russian.
Klien said of the 22-year-old’s season that it was “basically good because he has his team-mates under control, because that’s how he is measured.
“You will really see it when he’s in midfield.
“Driving around the back is good for learning, but demotivating in the long run. In the second year you want to take a step forward. “
