Toto Wolff leaves Mercedes door open for Mick Schumacher and gives hope over potential F1 return

Schumacher, the son of F1 legend and seven-time world champion Michael, has 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:joined Mercedes as their rese﷽rve driver for the 2023 season after losing his seat at Haas to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Nico Hulkenberg.
The 23-year-old German will serve as a back-up for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell and carry out an extensive 🍎simulator programme throughout the year.&🐓nbsp;
Wolff ꦓis convinced about Schumacher’s potential and believes he has a chance to for𝐆ge a pathway back to an F1 seat, either at Mercedes, or another team.
But with Russell committed to a long-term deal, and H𝔍amilton expected to agree a new contract, it is likely Schumacher would have to look elsewhere.
“I think if you give him a safe environment to develop, he can become a good racer in a permanent seat,” Wolff said, as quoted by🍎 Bild.
“Just as we let Nyck de Vri𓆏es go tꦿo make a career for himself, the same could happen with Mick. Whether it’s with our team or somewhere else. We don’t know yet.
“The most important factor is his personal𒆙ity. He is a well-mannered, intelligent and talented young man. If you look at his junior ๊career, he was very good.”

Wolff insists Schumacher’s presence at Mercedes will benefit the whole organisation as the team ꦛlooks to get back in the fight for world titles after a difficult 2022 campaign.
“He will contribute a lot by driving the new🦩 car for a year,” Wolff saiꦍd.
“He’s already been in Formula 1 for two years, knows the🐽 tyres ෴and the difficulties of the current generation cars. He will be super helpful in the simulator and also in judging the car.
“It will help us to have him at the track in the debriefing room, for example. He is an incredible young driver. That’s why we definitely have a gain with Mick in our൩ team.”
