Mick Schumacher (German pronunciation: [ˈmɪk ˈʃuːmaxɐ]; born 22 March 1999) is a German racing driver, currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Alpine and serving as a reserve driver in Formula One for Mercedes. Schumacher competed in Formula One from 2021 to 2022.
Born and raised in Switzerland, Schumacher is the son of seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher and equestrian Corinna Betsch, as well as the nephew of former Formula One driver Ralf and the cousin of sports car racing driver David. Initially competing under the pseudonyms Mick Betsch and Mick Junior, Schumacher finished runner-up to Enaam Ahmed at the junior direct-drive Karting World Championship and Karting European Championship in 2014. Graduating to junior formulae in 2015, Schumacher finished runner-up in both the ADAC F4 Championship and the Italian F4 Championship the next year. After finishing third in the 2016–17 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship, Schumacher moved to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, winning the championship with Prema the following season. Progressing to Formula 2 for the 2019 season, Schumacher won the championship in his 2020 campaign with Prema.
A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2019 to 2022, Schumacher was a test driver for Alfa Romeo and Haas in 2020, before signing with the latter as a full-time driver in 2021. Making his Formula One debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix alongside Nikita Mazepin, Haas failed to score points all season with the VF-21, with Schumacher finishing a season-best 12th in Hungary. Retaining his seat to partner Kevin Magnussen for 2022, Schumacher scored his first points finish at the British Grand Prix, with a career-best sixth at the Austrian Grand Prix. After a series of high-profile crashes, Schumacher was released by Haas at the end of the season, returning as a reserve driver for both Mercedes and McLaren in 2023, remaining at the former for 2024.
Outside of Formula One, Schumacher has competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Alpine since 2024.
