Mick Schumacher can drive for McLaren in F1 2023 season due to Mercedes deal
The arrangement is part of McLaren’s deal with engine🔥 supplier Mercedes.
Schumacher was dumped from the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up by Haas but was signed up as Mercedes’ third driver, and can now fulfil the third driver▨ role for McLaren too.
McLaren have used Mercedes' third d💃rivers in previous seasons, too, as part of their relationship.
Schumacher is the back-up to Mercedes duo 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 this year, and is now in reserve to McLaren's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.
McLaren's new team principal, Andrea Stella, was formerly an engineer for Mick's legendary father 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher.
An arrangement to be a reserve driver at two different teams worked out very nicely last season for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries, who per🥃formed the role simultaneously for Mercedes and Williams.
De Vries' outstanding per💫formance at the 2022 F1 Italian Grand Prix opened t🎀he door for him to seal a full-time drive with AlphaTauri this year.
Schumacher will be hoping that the link-up with McLaren inc🌜reases his visibility and opens more doors to a full-time return to the F1 grid in 2024.
