The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has enlisted two skilled reserve drivers for the 2024 Formula 1 season: Mick Schumacher and Frederik Vesti. These drivers play a critical role in supporting the team, ensuring seamless performance in the event regular drivers Lewis Hamilton or George Russell are unavailable.
Mick Schumacher: An Experienced Reserve
Mick Schumacher, son of the legendary seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, joined Mercedes in 2023 after completing two F1 seasons with Haas. As a reserve driver, Mick has provided valuable contributions both on-track and through simulator work, showcasing his expertise. He has also raced in the World Endurance Championship, securing a podium finish with Alpine.
Despite his vital role with Mercedes, Mick has expressed aspirations to return to full-time racing. He plans to explore new opportunities at the end of the 2024 season, signaling his ambition to compete at the highest level once again.
Frederik Vesti: A Rising Talent
Frederik Vesti, a promising member of the Mercedes Junior Team since 2021, stepped into the reserve driver role after an impressive 2023 Formula 2 season.

At just 22 years old, Vesti has gained valuable experience with F1 machinery through testing sessions and reserve duties. His commitment and growing skillset make him an essential part of the Mercedes driver development program.
Supporting Mercedes' 2024 Campaign
