The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is delighted to confirm that Mick Schumacher will join the team in the role of Reserve Driver for 2023.
Mick will play an essential role in the ongoing development of the W14. He will conduct regular work in the simulator at Brackley throughout the year as we fight back from a challenging 2022 season. This work will be harnessed trackside as Mick will also attend all Grands Prix in his new role, alongside carrying out marketing duties across the year.
Markus Schäfer, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Non-Executive Chairman and CTO Mercedes-Benz AG
It’s great to have Mick on board. He has already demonstrated impressive talent on the track, and I look forward to watching him apply that to the development side, too. He has a great deal to offer in this critical role. We have big plans for 2023, and Mick is integral to those as part of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 family.
