Mick Schumacher can drive for McLaren in F1 2023 season due to Mercedes deal
The a🌃rrangement is part of McLaren’s deal with engine supplier Mercedes.
Schumacher was dumped from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up by Haas but was signed up as Mercedes’ third driverℱ, and can now fulfil the third driver role♍ for McLaren too.
McLaren have u🌠sed Mercedes' third drivers in previous seasons, too, a♐s part of their relationship.
Schumacher is the back-up to Mercedes duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell this year, and is now in reserve to McLaren's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri.
McLaren's new team principal, Andrea Stella, was formerly an engineer for Mick's legendary father 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher.
An arrangement to be a reserve driver at two different teams worked out very nicely last season for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries, who performed the roleꦇ simultaneously for Mercedes and Williams.
De Vries' outstanding ཧperformance at the 2022 F1 Italian Grand Prix opened the door for him to seal a full-time drive with AlphaTauri this year.
Schumacher will be hoping that the link-up with McLaren increases hi🦋s visibility and opens more doors to a full-time return to the F1 grid in 2024.
