After two years in Formula 1, Mick Schumacher failed to secure a spot on the grid for the 2023 season.
He has been replaced by the experienced Nico Hülkenberg at Haas, leaving him without a full-time drive this year.
However, the young German driver is still involved in F1 this season.
The Sporting News takes a look at what’s currently on Schumacher’s plate for 2023.

It was a challenging start to life at Haas for Schumacher, failing to score any points in his debut season in 2021.
His lacklustre performances were generally excused though, with the US-owned team admitting they had abandoned development of their car, instead focusing on the upcoming season.
The attention that season was also on struggling teammate Nikita Mazepin, who earned the nickname of ‘Maze-spin’ due to the multiple occasions in which he failed to control the car.
Schumacher was paired with Kevin Magnussen in 2022 following the departure of Mazepin, with the Dane returning to his former team.
An improved car and more confident driving saw the young German earn his first points in F1, finishing P8 in Silverstone before backing it up with a P6 effort in Austria. However, his 12-point tally by the season’s end was trumped by Magnussen’s 25, who scored points on seven separate occasions.
There were glimpses of Schumacher’s ability throughout the year, but he was unable to match his teammate’s speed and race craft, often falling away at the end of Grands Prix. He was also out-qualified 16-6 by Magnussen, regularly beginning races in challenging positions.
At the conclusion of the 2022 season, it was announced that Schumacher’s deal with Haas was not going to be renewed, with Haas instead signing a veteran racer in Hülkenberg.
