Mick Schumacher Completes IndyCar Test With RLL at Indianapolis

He called it his most realistic single-seater option, with a decision likely after a data review plus an oval test.

Overview

  • Mick Schumacher turned his first IndyCar laps on Oct. 13 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course in Rahal Letterman Lanigan’s No. 75 Honda.
  • Unofficial times showed competitive pace, with Forbes listing him third-fastest overall, while the AP noted he topped the early hours of running.
  • Schumacher said IndyCar "comes the closest to what I can still race" and indicated he would commit to a full campaign rather than split programs.
  • He signaled openness to racing on ovals and suggested he wants an oval test before making a decision on his 2026 plans.
  • The 2020 Formula 2 champion, a former Haas F1 driver now racing in WEC and serving in reserve roles, has no confirmed IndyCar seat as options remain open.
