In the 2023 Formula 1 season, Mick Schumacher will only act as a replacement driver for Mercedes.

The racing professional hopes that this will remain the exception and confirms offers for the following year.

Brackley – Without his own cockpit, Mick Schumacher is looking forward to the new Formula 1 season starting on March 5th with the race in Bahrain.

The former Haas driver was hired as a test and reserve driver for the Mercedes racing team for 2023, and he is also available to the traditional McLaren team as a back-up driver if required.

The 23-year-old indicated at a Mercedes press conference that he would only be able to take on these functions on an interim basis.

Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher in focus for the 2024 season?

“Some people have already expressed an interest over the winter.

Sure, there's something.

We will see over the next few weeks and months when talks will start,” reported Mick Schumacher at the press conference held by his new employer as part of the presentation of the new Mercedes W14.

The son of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher did not reveal which teams are involved.

Nevertheless, he was self-confident and confident: "With the results that I have shown in the junior categories and also in Formula 1, I am sure that opportunities will arise."

Schumacher is confident about the future

Mick Schumacher seems to assume that he has a good chance of re-establishing himself as a permanent driver in the top racing class.

Accordingly, the motorsport professional is keeping a close eye on this request: “My goal is to stay in Formula 1.

There's no guarantee of course, but I'm in a comfortable position where I think I can get a lot out of the year."

Schumacher seems to see the 2023 season as an opportunity to improve further, even if he will only appear as a reserve driver for the time being.

Currently, Mick Schumacher can only be used in an official Formula 1 race if one of the two regular drivers from Mercedes or McLaren fails.

Mick Schumacher can still do it

The fact that racing is still in the blood of the former Formula 2 winner (2020), who lost his regular place at Haas at the end of 2022, was demonstrated only recently at the legendary "Race of Champions".

Here he was only narrowly beaten by the Swedish veteran Mattias Ekström.
