"Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I'm ok. Thank
you for the kind messages. The car felt great
@HaasF1Team, we'll come back
stronger," tweeted the 23-year-old German driver who was airlifted to
hospital after the crash.
Haas, meanwhile, said they will run just one car in Sunday's
race with Kevin Magnussen carrying their hopes.
"Schumacher was taken to the trackside medical center
following a significant accident at Turn 12," said Haas in a statement.
"After his assessment revealed no injuries, he was
transferred to
King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah for precautionary
checks.
"The team has subsequently taken the decision to
contest the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with the sole entry of
Kevin Magnussen."
The German driver, the son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher,
would have started Sunday's race in 14th position.
However, his weekend ended in terrifying fashion when he
lost control of his Haas at high speed, clipped a kerb, and then went straight
into the wall.
Two wheels were torn away from the car in the impact during
the second qualifying session.
