When Mercedes and Toto Wolff gave a lifeline to Haas’s former driver, Mick Schumacher, the German couldn’t be happier in his life. Wolff called Schumacher Jr. to the Mercedes factory, the duo sat down, had talks, and ultimately agreed on a reserve duty behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. As the young German has joined the team from his motherland, another opportunity arrived at his doorstep, about which Mick Schumacher can be everything but unhappy. Interestingly, the move is now a “full circle” given his father’s tie to the McLaren boss.

In a recent development, Mercedes agreed to let McLaren have Mick Schumacher’s service if they need him in the 2023 season. This has come years after Schumacher Jr’s father had a great tie with the current McLaren boss, Andrea Stella, during his racing days.

On this, McLaren’s official Twitter handle brought back an old memory to signify the Schumacher Jr. move. It stated, “Full circle. McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella worked closely with Mick’s father, the legendary Michael Schumacher, as his Performance Engineer.”

Mercedes and McLaren have deep ties when it comes to the F1 work relationship. On top of this, the British team uses Mercedes engines in their cars. Now, in 2023, using the same relationship, the Woking-based team will be able to make use of their reserve driver as well.

Mick Schumacher following his father’s path

As McLaren announced Mick Schumacher as a man for their duty alongside Mercedes, he will get to work with the same man his legendary father did. Michael Schumacher worked with Andrea Stella for four years from 2002 to 2006 in Ferrari.

During their time, Stella has helped Schumacher to clinch his 2002, 2003, and 2004 F1 titles. During these years, Ferrari and Schumacher have been absolutely indomitable. As Stella’s time has come to work with the German legend’s son, it’ll be interesting to see how things work out.

As for Schumacher Jr, he is sure to have some stellar experiences in the upcoming 2023 F1 season. Since Mercedes has already given him a checklist to ensure the F1 future, McLaren has attained the right to take him in and train him in their team.
