Mick Schumacher could race for McLaren this year after a deal was struck with engine supplier Mercedes.
The German is without a Formula 1 race seat for the upcoming season, after losing his place on the grid with Haas after two years. Instead, his primary role will be as a reserve for the Silver Arrows, who wasted little time before snapping him up.
It means Schumacher will be on standby to fill in for either Lewis Hamilton or George Russell, should they be forced to miss a race. On top of those potential opportunities, it was announced on Wednesday that another team might also give him the chance to drive.
