Mick Schumacher’s data is giving Mercedes a ‘tremendous advantage’, say experts

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has praised the valuable contribution of Mick Schumacher behind the scenes, highlighting the benefits of having the young driver support the team in their pursuit of closing the gap to Red Bull.

Schumacher joined Mercedes ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season after his departure from Haas, following a challenging two-year period with the American outfit. Although his presence is not directly felt on the F1 grid this year, Wolff emphasized the significant impact Schumacher has had on the team’s performance, particularly through his work on the simulator.
