Mick Schumacher may have just signed to drive the Honda No. 47 for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in next season’s IndyCar Series, but he is already truly excited about what lies ahead as he transitions to the American way of racing.
The Swiss-born German climbed the ladder in the single-seater formula feeder series – winning championships in Formula 3 and Formula 2 – on his way to Formula 1, but once there he found himself stuck with machinery limitations that largely define expectations in the pinnacle of motorsport. Driving for Haas F1 Team in 2021 and 2022, Schumacher more often than not found himself at the back of the field, managing just two points-paying finishes.
