The crash🐟 happened when the young Schumacher collided with Thomas Preining - both of their cars hit the barrier and bou♌nced back onto the track.

Denis Olsen, trying to avoid the incident, also hit the barrier and his car burst into fla♑mes.

David Schumacheꦯr’s mother Cora commented on social after the crash, and blamed Preining: "David Schumacher is doing well so far, that's the most important thing. 

“Nevertheless, I have to say that I find it absolutely not okay of Thomas Preining to expressꦑ himself negatively about our son every time without any self-reflection.
