Toto Wolff highlights Mercedes unsung hero after Lewis Hamilton given huge F1 boost

Lewis Hamilton and George Russell may be the ones in the spotlight out on track for Mercedes, but there are plenty of people putting in work behind the scenes to help the cause

Toto Wolff has heaped praise upon “great guy” Mick Schumacher for his work to help set up and develop the Mercedes W14 so far this season.

The German is reserve driver to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell this year. It’s not the role he wanted – Schumacher would much prefer to be racing against the British drivers.

But he was axed by Haas at the end of last season, when every other team had already completed its 2023 line-up. So his best option was to accept Wolff’s offer to provide backup to his main men.

And that’s what he has been doing. But arguably his most important work has been in the simulator to help with the development direction of the team’s temperamental car.
