Schumacher, who took up a Mercedes reserve driver role after losing his Haas race seat at the end of 2022, has been praised by168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 for the role he played in helping the team turn around their Spanish 🔜Grand Prix weekend. 

The son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael has been lauded by Mercedes boss Wolff, who has claimed rival F1 teams are 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“missing out” by not employing Schumacher. 

“It’s great to have a mature, successful and experieꩲnced Formula 1 driver supporting us in the sim and with his 🌠feedback, that is of tremendous advantage,” Wolff said. 

“On some💧 of the European grands prix, having him in the sim overnight and providing data for the Saturday is a super advantage for us.”

And Wolff is confident 24-year-old Schumacher would be a capable back-up f🉐or Hamilton or Russell if one of Mercedes’ regular drivers were ruled out of a race. 

“The other side is that if one of George [Russell] or Lewis were to have to have fish poisoning – well, Lewis can’t have fish poisonin🐟g, it would be avocado poisoning – then we know we have a super guy that will drive the car and drive the car well,” he added. 

“And as much as I like the situation for the benefit of the team, I would prefer every day of the week that Mick sits in the cꩲockpit and actually races.”
