Mick Schumacher is being taken to “King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah, for precautionary checks,” FIA said following the Haas driver's high-speed crash during the second round of qualifying that likely had fans holding their breath.

The German spun out in Turn 12, and as he collided with the wall, two of his wheels came flying off and extensive damage was done. Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft said Schumacher was driving approximately 170mph when going downhill during the impact.

An ambulance rushed to the scene as the 23-year-old remained in the cockpit.
