“After the Grand Prix weekend, Mick [Schumacher] will also get his first real-world taste of the W14 on the second day of the Pirelli tyre test. He has done a great job with the Team so far, working hard back in the simulator and giving valuable input trackside.
“We’re looking forward to him getting his first taste of on-track running this year, and sure it will help him in his role as Reserve Driver.“
