Mick Schumacher is in the race to win back a fixed Formula 1 spot, possibly even with the Haas team. After leaving his job with Haas in 2022, Schumacher is looking to resurrect his F1 career. Mick Schumacher serves as a Mercedes reserve driver and has been actively involved in testing activities for the Brackley-based team, as well as a private test for McLaren working with a 2021 car.
Mick Schumacher, a former driver for Guenther Steiner’s Haas team, is in a great position to win back a spot on the Formula 1 grid, according to the team boss. Steiner replaced Schumacher at the start of the year with German driver Nico Hulkenberg. Meanwhile, Mick has been under the guidance of Toto Wolff, with the Austrian boss commending the young driver’s exceptional work on the simulator.

In fact, Lewis Hamilton himself credited young Schumacher for his contributions to Mercedes’ double podium achievement in the Spanish Grand Prix. As a result, Schumacher’s simulator work at Haas was restricting Steiner confesses that he cannot right away vouch for it. Nonetheless, he is adamant that the 24-year-old driver has a high chance of getting a spot in a race in the near future.

By the end of the 2022 season, the German driver was out of his position on the F1 grid after two rather mediocre seasons with Haas. Now that Lando Norris appears to be attracting interest from top teams, Schumacher sees his test work with McLaren as a potential opportunity for filling in case Norris decides to leave the team.
Reflecting on his first test experience with McLaren, Schumacher spoke positively about the opportunity to log numerous laps and work with the team. He considered it an excellent chance to gain valuable experience and expressed his willingness to embrace any future testing opportunities with both Mercedes and McLaren. It looks quite likely that this talented young driver will eventually land a racing seat in the near future given his link with Mercedes.
