Mick Schumacher did a private test yesterday at the Portimão circuit in Portugal, driving the McLaren MCL35M, the 2021 car. The fact is that, in accordance with the agreements between Mercedes and McLaren, Mick is also regarded as a reserve driver for the team from Woking.
“So, I completed the program of the day in Portimao,” summarized Mick, who is quite unusual to see in an orange jumpsuit. – The first tests with McLaren went well, we did a lot of laps and also tried a lot of settings, so the impressions are great.
It has been very rewarding to get this experience with a team of great people and I hope to have the opportunity to continue this work soon.”
Commenting on the first experience of such a partnership with the son of a seven-time world champion, the team also stressed that young mechanics and engineers who had recently joined McLaren were training and gaining experience in these tests.
