Later, the driver himself tweeted: “Hello, everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I’m fine. Thank you for your thoughtful messages. @HaasF1Team, the car felt fantastic, and we’ll be back stronger.”

During the Q2 session, two wheels were wrenched away from the car due to the force of the incident. A medical team arrived to transport him from his heavily damaged automobile to the Jeddah Street Circuit’s medical centre.

He was conscious and conversing, according to reports. As he exited in an ambulance, he was said to be able to remove his own gloves.

The Haas team tweeted, “We’ve heard Mick is conscious, out of the car, and currently on his way to the hospital centre.”
