Mick Schumacher change lanes. After the car and in particular in Formula 1 where he evolved at Haas in 2021 and 2022 as a starter before joining Mercedes as a reserve driver this season, Michael's son signed up with Alpine to dispute the WEC in 2024.

Last October, Mick drove an endurance prototype for the first time in Jerez (Spain). A convincing first experience for both the driver and the team who decided to join forces in competition. Mick Schumacher is thus the flagship recruit of the arrow brand for its Hypercar program in 2024.

« A new chapter opens for me with Alpine in the Hypercar category of the FIA ​​WEC, explains the German driver with 43 starts in Formula 1 with Haas. Lhe car is impressive and I can't wait to get started. I grew up with single-seaters, so driving a car with an enclosed cockpit and covered wheels is a great opportunity to hone my driving skills. I missed the races a lot this year; It's what I've loved doing since I was a kid, and it was sometimes difficult watching the other drivers race around the track. Endurance is a new challenge for me, and I am sure we will share great moments together next year with Alpine. »

Mick Schumacher will make his competitive debut with Alpine on March 2, 2024 during the 1 km of Qatar.
