Mick Schumacher to drive father Michael's 2011 Mercedes F1 car at Goodwood
Mercedes F1 reserve driver Schumacher will make his first appearance at 🥀the festival next month, where he will get behind the wheel of the W02.
The 24-year-꧟old German will complete runs in his father’s Mercedes on both the Saturday and Sunday of the three-day festival which takes place on 14-16 July.
"It's going to be spectacular 🐼to run in my dad’s 2011 car, the W02, even if it is only a short run. Just experiencing this generation of ca💜rs will be mega!” Schumacher said.
"Knowing 🧸that he raced this car makes it extra special, and there will be many emotions coming🌄 with it. I have been lucky enough to drive one of his Benetton cars and some of the Ferraris he raced, but this will be the first time behind the wheel of a Mercedes he drove.
“I am sure I will get out of it 💖with a big smile on 🍒my face.”
The W02 remain🎃s the only Merc🌜edes F1 car that failed to finish on a podium.
Despite being a regular points💯 scorer that helped Mercedes clinch fourth place in that season’s constructors’ world championship, the W02’s best result was a P4 at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Schumacher has previously driven F1 cars his legendary dad raced during his time at Jordan🌠, Benetton and Ferrari.
Mercedes will also be running their last championship-winning car,ꦰ the W12, which will be driven by E𝓰steban Gutierrez.
