Ex-Formula 1 Driver Mick Schumacher Tests IndyCar At Indianapolis
Schumacher tested an IndyCar for the first time, finishing third fastest among seven drivers and considering a full-time switch from Formula 1 as early as 2026.
- On October 13, 2025, Mick Schumacher completed his first IndyCar test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
- Arriving early last Friday, Schumacher had a seat fitted and used a Honda simulator in Brownsburg, Indiana, preparing after racing in the World Endurance Championship and serving as an F1 reserve.
- Five teams brought seven drivers to share the 14‑turn, 2.439‑mile IMS road course during the test, with Dennis Hauger fastest at 1:10.768 and Schumacher third at 1:10.980.
- Schumacher signalled he could join IndyCar as early as next season, but said a final decision is "quite far down the road" with the next two or three weeks important.
- Having attended the 109th Indianapolis 500 and crossing the 'Yard of Bricks,' Schumacher's move could draw attention to IndyCar's driver-focused racing, given his heritage.
