Toto Wolff revealed his plan to give Mick Schumacher some time behind the wheel of a Mercedes Formula 1 car this year despite only being the team's reserve driver.
The German racer signed with the Silver Arrows in the winter after he was let go by Haas. He raced in F1 with the American team for two seasons, but had too many expensive crashes and scored too few points to secure a contract extension.
Wolff was only too happy to offer young Schumacher a role which would keep him in the F1 paddock. The Austrian made a point of referring to the fact his legendary father, seven-time world champion Michael, had helped to establish Mercedes on the grid in the twilight of his own career.
