Mick Schumacher will drive dad Michael's car in rare chance to impress Mercedes

Mick Schumacher will drive the Mercedes W02 car that was raced by his father at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.

The 24-year-old is the Mercedes reserve driver, backing up Lewis Hamilton and George Russell this season. He was picked up by the team after being dropped by Haas and has been working out of the spotlight for the manufacturer.

But he will take centre stage at the Goodwood Festival, which takes place on July 14 to 16. Schumacher will drive on Saturday and Sunday, taking the wheel of the Mercedes W02 – a car his dad, Michael Schumacher, drove back in the 2011 season, along with Nico Rosberg.
