Mick Schumacher wants to complete IndyCar test
The team, for which Mick Schumacher will now test, belongs to the former late night star David Letterman. Place of events: one of the most legendary routes in racing.
Mick Schumacher wants to complete an Indycar test in the USA after the chances for returning to Formula 1. The 26 -year -old racing driver will shoot training rounds on October 13 on the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
“I am very curious to get to know the peculiarities and properties of this racing car, which differs from the cars that I am used to driving,” said Mick Schumacher in a message. Nevertheless, the car is similar and he himself is very interested in gaining experience in the diverse world of motorsport.
Above all, the test should also be hopes for a place in the IndyCar series, among other things, with the legendary Indy500. In Formula 1, Mick Schumacher could not prevail after his total victory in Formula 3 and Formula 2. After two years at the US racing stable Haas 2021 and 2022, the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher had not received a new contract for a regular place at one of the teams.
TeamT owner finds a thought exciting
After a transition period, Schumacher is only focusing on his missions for Alpine in the long-distance world championship this year as a replacement driver at the Mercedes racing team. Opportunities for a comeback possibly in the coming season in the motorsport king class are already smashed.
The new US racing team Cadillac has chosen Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas. The responsible Flavio Briatore made it clear.
“It is no secret that I am a big fan of one-man races, so this first IndyCar test will be a valuable experience for me, and I’m really looking forward to driving a car where I can see my bikes,” he said. This is not the case in the touring car.
What David Letterman has to do with the team
“I have followed Mick’s career as well as that of his father from a distance, so I find the idea of seeing him in one of our racing cars very exciting,” said Bobby Rahal. The team of Mike Lanigan and David Letterman-the famous former late night presenter from the USA belongs to the former Indy500 winner and three times IndyCar champion.
