Mick Schumacher will definitely race a Mercedes this year if the regular drivers are unable to. That is the clear message from team boss Toto Wolff, who denied that the ousted Haas driver’s new role at Mercedes is more symbolic than actual. “If one of our drivers gets covid or gets hurt, Mick will be in the car. However, so far, 24-year-old Schumacher is yet to even drive a Mercedes car. “We’re trying to get an old car ready for him as soon as possible,” Wolff insists. And I agree that if Michael had been with his son during those two years at Haas, (Gunther) Steiner would not have dared to deal with Mick the way he did.”.
