Mick Schumacher raked up a repair bill cost of £4 Million to his car in F1 2021, the most damage any driver did

Haas’ Mick Schumacher Tops List Of Damage Cost Repair Bill For F1 2021
Schumacher ended up costing his team a behemoth £1 million in one race alone as he ended up crashing his car on lap 10 of the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. His accident in lap 10 ended up seeing the race red-flagged with track marshals cleaning up Mick’s VF-21 from the barriers at Turn 23.
Schumacher raked up an colossal shopping list of new parts for Haas with him needing eight new front wings and nine new sets of suspension across the course of the bygone season.
Haas team boss Guenther Steiner said after Schumacher’s crash at the Saudi Arabian GP 2021: “We’ve used everything we have left. If we crash in practice before the last race, it’ll be tight.”
Both F1 legend, Schumacher’s son and Nikita Mazepin failed to record a single point across the last season. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was second on the list of the crash price list while drivers’ championship title winner, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came in third place with a damage cost bill a little over 3.3 million pounds.
Hamilton meanwhile didn’t feature in the list of the top 10 drivers with him coming in at 13th place with a damage bill of just over 1 million pounds. The Brit came in second last season after falling behind to Verstappen in the season finale Abu Dhabi GP 2021.
