IndyCar: Schumacher has begun working with RLL Racing

      Last week Mick Schumacher began the active stage of preparation for his debut in the American IndyCar series. The son of the seven-time world champion arrived at the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) base, had a seat fitting, practiced pit stops, and spoke with the engineers and mechanics who will work on his No. 47 car.

      “Thanks for the warm welcome!” Mick wrote on his social media pages. “It was a great week I spent with the RLL team — now let’s see what we can achieve together!”

      The team also shared a couple of photos taken at its Indiana base, as well as a short video capturing the pit-stop practice. Its comment was equally brief: “IndyCar debut soon!”

      Less than a month from now, on February 9, Mick is set to drive the team’s car for the first time — a Dallara DW12 with a Honda hybrid power unit — at the official pre-season tests in Sebring.
