Overview

• Schumacher will test a Dallara DW12 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing at Indianapolis on October 13.
• No series switch has been announced, and the run is positioned as an exploratory tryout rather than a commitment.
• Ralf Schumacher urged caution, calling IndyCar’s oval racing too dangerous and recalling his own heavy impacts at Indianapolis.
• He cited serious past injuries in the series, including Robert Wickens, to underscore his safety concerns.
• He also argued that moves from IndyCar back into Formula 1 seldom succeed and suggested the LMDh/Hypercar route as a stronger global option while Mick remains an Alpine WEC works driver.
