Jolyon Palmer: 'It's all just a little unnecessary...' F1
His car suffered extensive damage, even requiring a new chassis, as well as floor, front wing and front and rear suspension.
Former F1 driver turned pundit Jolyon Palmer told F1TV that it was “all just a little unnecessary”, especially when Haas is one of the teams with a budget that’s still less than the cost cap. “All teams will have a spare chassis at a grand prix for this instance, but with just a handful of races remaining Haas will have to make another one to have a spare for the future,” he explained.“At this stage, especially if you are Haas and you’re on a smaller budget compared to some of the other teams, not every team is running up to the limit and Haas is one that wants to try save a little bit of budget at this season.
“They are going to have to dig deeper to fund a new chassis just to make sure they can race throughout all the next grands prix if there was another accident.” Schumacher was back on track in Saturday’s third and final practice, finishing P16 with Kevin Magnussen P15.
