Schumacher: The leakage of the car is to blame for the water leak

German Mick Schumacher revealed that the coolant on his car started leaking on Friday due to the violent bouncing of the car on the streets of the capital of Azerbaijan.

The Haas racer drove just three laps when water started vomiting from the bottom of the page on the right side of the car. "The problem with the water leak, which undermined our preparation plan, was caused by strong jumping in the first round," explained Schumacher, who says that this is the first time he has physically felt the jump. “The body is suffering as well as the race car, so this will have to be considered before the next races. The track does not wear the tires excessively, as the temperature is not high. But it will be interesting to take a closer look at the data and prepare for the race. ”

Team boss Gunther Steiner, however, said the same problem would almost occur on another race car of Schumacher’s teammate, Kevin Magnussen. “The first workout started badly, with a problem on Mick’s race car,” he said. “Mick couldn’t get back on the track and that’s not good on a racetrack like this. Something strange happened, but we were lucky, because the same problem would have almost occurred with Kevin, but we fixed it before the second training session. ”
