Schumacher’s run of high-profile shunts ultiඣmately cost him his seat, forcing 🍃him to look elsewhere. 

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

Before m꧋aking his comeback for this year, Hulkenberg spent several seaso𝔍ns on the sidelines himself as Racing Point/Aston Martin’s reserve driver.

Hulkenberg thinks Sch⛎umacher’s time away from 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 learn a lot at Mercedes from one of the best drivers ever [Lewis Hamilton]. That's valuable experience he can gain there and use 🐎fo🎉r himself.”

Reflecting ♋on his own time away from the sport, Hulke🌌nberg explained how it’s made him more “motivated”.

“After 2019, it was a conscious decision to leave F1, knowing that there might not❀ be a way back,” he added.

“From the middle of🌳 the year, I wasn’t in the best shape mentally at the tim💧e. 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 now.”
