Mick Schumacher F1 test curtailed due to inclement weather,rescheduled on

Mick Schumacher saw his latest attempt at a Formula 1 comeback with Mercedes end prematurely as inclement weather conditions struck the Paul Ricard circuit

Taking part in a Pirelli Wet tyre outing in his role as reserve driver at Mercedes, Schumacher’s planned programme involved running on an artificially soaked track.

Having missed out on the Williams seat following the British outfit’s decision to drop Logan Sargeant, the test was a rare chance for the German to sample an F1 car.

But the weather gods did not shine on the circuit that last hosted the French Grand Prix in 2022 as torrential downpours soaked the track by more natural means.

Given the unique nature of tyre testing, meaningful lap times are notoriously difficult to decipher, while the torrential rain made it impossible to understand his pace in the W15.

Scheduled for just one day in the car, George Russell will take over testing duties on Wednesday, and Schumacher will need to wait longer for another bite at an outing..
