Schumacher, the son of F1 legend and seven-time world champion Michael, has 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:joined Merce🐭des as their reserve driver for the 2023 season after losing his seat at Haas to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Nico Hulkenberg. 

The 23-year-old German will serve as a back-up for 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 and carry out an extensive ဣsimulator programme throughout the year. 

Wolff is convinced about Schumacher’s potential and believes he has a chance to forge a pathway back to🐎 an F1🔯 seat, either at Mercedes, or another team. 

But with Russell committed to a long-term deal, and Hamilton expected to agree a new contract, it is 𒉰likely Schumacher would have toℱ look elsewhere. 

• What is Schumacher's best hope for an F1 2024 seat?

“I think if you give him a safe environment to develop, he can become a good racer in a permanent seat,” Wolff said, as quo🍬ted by Bild.

“Just as we let N♍yck de Vries go tꦉo make a career for himself, the same could happen with Mick. Whether it’s with our team or somewhere else. We don’t know yet.

“The most important factor is his personality. He is a well-mannered, intelligent and tal🐻ented young man. If you l😼ook at his junior career, he was very good.”

Wolff insists Schumacher’s presence at Mercedes will benefit the whole organisation as the team looks♚ to get back in the fight for world titles after a difficult 2022 campaign. 

“He wꦓill contribute a lot by driving the new car for a year,” Wolff said. 

“He’s already b✃een in Formula 1 for two years, knows the tyres and the difficulties of the current generation cars. He will be super h🏅elpful in the simulator and also in judging the car.

“It will help us to𒐪 have him at the track in the debriefing room, for example. He is anꦐ incredible young driver. That’s why we definitely have a gain with Mick in our team.”
