Haas face a repair bill of up to £760,000 ($1 million) as a result of Mick Schumacher’s heavy crash during qualifying for last weekend’s race.
Schumacher struck a barrier at the exit of turn 10 at a speed of around 270kph, sustaining a 33G impact. The driver spent the night in hospital but was released the following day without any significant injuries.
Team principal Guenther Steiner said the damage to the car was extensive but the chassis appeared to be salvageable.
“The chassis itself doesn’t seem to be broken,” he said. “The side impact structure is, but you can change them. Obviously we need to do a proper check on the chassis but it looks not too bad, to be honest.
“The engine also, I was told from Ferrari, seems to be okay. The battery pack as well. And then all the rest is broken.”
The extent of the damage leaves Haas with a steep repair bill, he admitted.
