Schumacher knows how he wants to handle his period at Mercedes

Mick Schumacher wants to take advantage of the position he has been given at Mercedes next season. Although he will not be prominent as a reserve driver, he expects to learn a lot from the decisions of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.

Whereas Hamilton, as a seven-time World Champion, showed amply in the past what he can do, Russell showed in 2022 that he too can tap a high level. For Schumacher, therefore, Mercedes is a fine place to run around.

"It's a chance for me to not have one teammate, but two teammates," he told GPblog and others at the press conference. "Maybe I don't have a direct comparison because I'm not driving but I know how I will approach it."

"Say if they have an oversteer car, what do they do to improve that in terms of driving style. I hope to learn from that and hopefully add to my toolbox to be ready when I hopefully come back," said Schumacher, who is already feeling at home with his new team.

Russell stated last week that Mercedes can also learn a lot from Schumacher's experience. The Brit hopes the talent will work hard in the simulator this season, helping the German formation further in the development of the car.
