Mick, the son of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, will now be a backup for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at Mercedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Riccardo, who joined as the third driver for Red Bull recently, was linked with the job for a long time but his association with Red Bull paved the way for the 23-year-old to join Mercedes. His father also spent his final three seasons at F1 as a driver for Mercedes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercedes announced just hours after Ferrari confirmed that they had parted ways with Schumacher. Mick was a part of their driver academy previously and had also impressed through the ranks into F1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said Schumacher has it in him to be ready to step into the car on short notice if the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mick is a talented young driver and we&#8217;re delighted to have him join the team,&#8221; Wolff said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He is a hard worker, has a calm and methodical approach, and is still hungry to learn and improve as a driver. These are all important qualities, and we&#8217;re excited for him to help us develop the W14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We also know that with two years of experience racing in Formula 1 under his belt, he will be ready to step into the car at short notice to replace either Lewis or George, should that need arise. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schumacher also expressed his happiness in joining the Mercedes team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am thrilled to be part of the Mercedes team and I am committed to giving it my all to contribute to their performance in this very competitive and professional environment,&#8221; said Schumacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I take this as a new start, and I am just excited and grateful to Toto and everybody involved for putting their trust in me,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick Schumacher lost his seat at Haas to Nico Hulkenberg but will now join Mercedes as a reserve driver for the 2023 Formula 1 season.
