Mick Schumacher is competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours for the first time this weekend.
“Mick Schumacher has talked about the unique difference between Le Mans 24 Hours and Formula 1, highlighting the upcoming debut in the prestigious event for Alpine. Racing in Le Mans is described as a ’10-day marathon’, including various testing and media obligations in preparation for the iconic race, as pointed out by Nyck de Vries. Having transitioned from single-seaters to WEC this year, Schumacher is eager to race at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe and embrace the passion for motorsport. The concept of a one-off event like Le Mans is a new experience for Schumacher, who anticipates the challenge of a 24-hour endurance race. While the driving styles between a Mercedes F1 car and Alpine’s WEC Hypercar differ significantly, Schumacher has adapted well to shifting between the distinct categories this season. He appreciates the unique aspects of each championship and is able to separate his approach when testing in Formula 1 and competing in WEC.”
