Mick Schumacher Sets Oct. 13 IndyCar Test With Rahal Letterman Lanigan in Indianapolis

Cadillac's selection of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez has narrowed his Formula 1 options.

Overview

  • Schumacher will sample a Dallara DW12 run by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
  • Bobby Rahal said the team's IMS road-course setups should provide a solid baseline as Schumacher adapts to the car.
  • The opportunity was facilitated by manager Dirk Müller, who previously raced for RLL and won the 2011 ALMS GT2 title with BMW.
  • Schumacher called the outing a valuable chance to experience a demanding single-seater and broaden his motorsport skill set.
  • A strong showing could lead to an IndyCar program as soon as 2026, which would likely pause his WEC plans given McLaren's LMDh timeline for 2027.
