The former F1 driver will race for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in 2026
Carrying the Schumacher name hasn’t been easy for him. After winning the Formula 2 championship in 2020, there was a lot of hype around the young German.
However he failed to grab the attention of the top F1 teams, and was dropped by Haas at the end of the 2022 season, and has been confined to endurance racing ever since.
Todays announcement marks the next step in the 26-year-olds racing career.
He will be driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing alongside veteran Graham Rahal, and 2025 rookie of the year Louis Foster.
Schumacher said: “I am delighted to confirm today that I will be competing in the INDYCAR SERIES next year with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, taking part in the full season.
“Having both an F1 and an endurance background, and having competed in various racing series over the years, I have insights and knowledge that I am sure will contribute to a great partnership.
“RLL prepared me extremely well during testing already, and I am sure that we can build a lot together.”
“I was also immediately excited about the car and the American way of motorsport which comes across as being more about pure and direct racing, and it is precisely this aspect that I am very much looking forward to.
“And of course, I am curious about new experiences and always interested in broadening my horizons. For me, a new journey is beginning here, and I am excited for the season to start.”
President of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, JAY FRYE said: “Opportunities like this are rare, and we couldn’t be more excited to see everything come together. Mick is an exceptional talent on the track and an outstanding young man off of it.
“We are very proud to have Mick as part of the RLL family.”
