Will Mick Schumacher get to drive Mercedes' W14 F1 car?
Schumacher, the son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael, has joined Mercedes as their reserve driver for 2023 after losing his Haas seat to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg and splitting from Ferrari.
The 23-year-old German will act as a backup for Mercedes regulars 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell throughout the campaign.
Schumacher is due to attend every grand prix and will 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:also be available to Mercꦏedes customer McLaren in the event 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri cannot race, b♐ut the bulk of his work will be spent in the simulator at Brackley.
Schumacher recently completed a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史🐽:seat fitting at Mercede♔s and McLaren but repo🐲rt that Mercedes won’t give him any running during pre-season testing in Bah🙈rain.
With just three days of running to prepare for the new season, Hamilton and R🦩ussell will spli🐎t driving duties between them in Bahrain.
Hamilton and Russell will also divide time in th🌄e new W14 during its first shakedown at Silverstone following Mercedes’ launch൲ on February 15.
Mercedes are using the shakedown as one of the♏ir two permitted filming d✨ays for 2023, both of which are limited to 100km.
FP1 runs are also out of the equation for Schumacher, given he does not meet the terms of the mandatory rookie running🐲 due to completing more than two grand prix starts in hi🌜s F1 career.
Therefore, it appears Schumacher’s only chance of driving Merce𓆉des’ W14 challenger will come if Hamilton or Russell are ruled out of a session.
