P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Mick Schumacher saw his latest attempt at an F1 comeback with Mercedes end prematurely as inclement weather conditions struck the Paul Ricard circuit.
Michael Schumacher participated in a Pirelli Wet tyre outing as a reserve driver for Mercedes. Unfortunately, the planned programme on an artificially soaked track was hindered by heavy downpours. This test served as a rare opportunity for Schumacher to experience driving an F1 car after missing out on a seat at Williams. Weather conditions prevented Mercedes from running Schumacher’s car, leading to the test being abandoned after just a few laps. Despite completing only 29 laps, Schumacher’s best time was 1:39.720s, though the rainy weather made it difficult to assess his performance. George Russell will take over testing duties, leaving Schumacher to wait for another chance to participate in an outing.
