Mick Schumacher finally has a silver lining after losing his Haas drive and splitting from Ferrari.
The son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher has joined Mercedes as a reserve driver for 2023, ahead of what Mick hopes will be a proper F1 comeback in 2024.
Schumacher was part of the Ferrari Driver Academy for four years and raced two seasons in F1 with Haas, but now he has a change of scenery that at least gives him a good short-term programme.
That work will be Schumacher’s immediate priority but there will also be an effort to find him a racing return in 2024 - and while that is really, really unlikely to be with Mercedes, we think Schumacher has some realistic options elsewhere.
