Schumacher was dropped by Haas for F1 2023 as they favoured Hulkenberg for his consistency and experienc🍌e.

Schumacher’s run of high-profile shunts ultim🌠ately cost him his seat, forcing him to looꦡk elsewhere. 

Unable to find a drive for 2023, Schumacher joined Mercedes as their reserve and test driver - a role held by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries in 2022, who is now at AlphaTauri.

Before making his com𝐆eback for this year, Hulkenberg spent several seasons on the sidelines himself as Racing Point/Aston Maꦺrtin’s reserve driver.

Hulkꦫenberg thinks Schumacher’s time away 𝐆from the pressure cooker that is F1 will be beneficial.

🐲“Just keep at it. It’s a chance for him to have more time because he’s not in the seat and doesn’t have the pressure to perform at the moment,” Hulkenberg told Sport Bild.

“He will be able to lea𒀰rn a lot at Mercedes from one of the best drivers ever [Lewis Hamilton]. That's valuable experience he can gain there and use for himself.”

Reflecting on his own time away from the𓄧 sport, Hulkenberg explained how it’s made 🧔him more “motivated”.

“Aft💃er 2019, it was a conscious decision to leave F1, knowing that there might ൲not be a way back,” he added.

“From the middle of the year, I wasn’t in the best shape mentally at 🦄the time. The break gave me a good distance and reset.

“Of course it was different to follow F1 from a distance. But the time also did me good. It was necessary for me and is certainly the reason why I’m very settled, motivated, fresh and ready to attack here n🌱ow.”
