Mick Schumacher will have his first on-track day in the Mercedes W14 on Wednesday, a chance for the German to shine.... F1 Schumacher Formula1
Six months on from the rather dispiriting end to his Formula 1 driving career with Haas as it became evident the American team had lost faith in him after some high-profile mistakes, Mick Schumacher gets to jump back in a contemporary car on Wednesday – taking the wheel of the Mercedes W14 for a day of track time in Barcelona.
Williams are no stranger to taking a chance like that, given that Alex Albon rebuilt his career while off the F1 grid, with the British-Thai racer providing the template that Schumacher is seeking to emulate.Albon, having been fast-tracked up to become Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull, performed well initially but, bit by bit, lost his mojo racing alongside the Dutch driver, losing all semblance of speed and sure-footedness as the races ticked by.
“I’ll take the same similar approach that Alex did,” Schumacher told media, including PlanetF1.com, at the launch of Mercedes’ W14 early this year. “But, more than that, it’s also an opportunity for me to have, instead of one teammate, two teammates to look at and see what they’re doing.Guenther Steiner jokes his ‘salary’ is benefitting from Mick Schumacher’s exit
The opportunity to work with, and learn from, Hamilton and Russell has clearly earned their respect too, with both drivers taking the opportunity to praise Schumacher’s contribution as he carried out extensive simulator work after a slow Friday for Mercedes in Spain.
