Schumacher wants to rewrite his story with IndyCar legacy team

Mick Schumacher wants to rewrite his story. It's a saddeningly familiar one in sports: a second-generation star, enveloped by the shadow of his father's success, fighting to establish himself as worthy of respect and opportunity.

The son of all-time Formula 1 great Michael Schumacher had his own time in F1, spending two years with Haas F1 — the second-worst team on the grid during his tenure — and with no significant results in hand, fell out of the series where his father made the family name. At 26, Mick is young enough to take another shot at making it to the top, but F1 has moved on in the three years since his last start.

Newer challengers have arrived and signed on as test and development drivers; Schumacher, the 2020 Formula 2 champion, has been relegated to the sidelines.
