The team instantly promised a full investigation into the incident, and ✨has since revealed that it was most likely the result of a mechanical failure. Driver error on Schumacher's part has been excluded from tꩵhe possible causes.
"The team is currently investigating the ca𝄹use of the accident, but has ruled out driver error," said a ꦰstatement issued on the team's website.
Chief operations engineer Sam Michael admitted to Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper that the team was 'not 100 per cent sure wha𝓀t happened, but it was some sort of technical failure'. He added that, remarkably, the car wasn't a write-off, and was already on its way bac💖k to Grove to be repaired.
Despite hospital policy requiring any admissions to be detained for a full 24 hours for observation, Schumacher yesterday discharged himse🍒lf and returned to his private clinic in Austria, while test driv🀅er Marc Gene was drafted in to cover his duties at the track.
