Mick Schumacher confirms IndyCar future in MSR move

Mick Schumacher has confirmed his IndyCar future, with Meyer Shank Racing announcing he will join the team for the 2027 season. The former Haas F1 driver will partner Marcus Armstrong in the No. 66 MSR Honda.

Why it matters:

After two seasons in Alpine's WEC Hypercar programme, Schumacher moved to IndyCar as a rookie in 2026 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Now joining an Indy 500-winning team signals his commitment to building a long-term future in American open-wheel racing.

The details:

• Schumacher will drive the No. 66 MSR Honda alongside Marcus Armstrong, another ex-Ferrari Driver Academy product.
• The move follows Schumacher's recent statement that he was "here to stay" in IndyCar, with the 2027 seat now confirmed.
• He is in contention to end 2026 as top rookie, trailing Dennis Hauger by 18 points ahead of the Monterey finale.
• In a statement, Schumacher called it a "special opportunity" and said he's eager to work with the team and its partners.

What's next:

Schumacher will finish the 2026 season with RLL before switching to MSR. With the team's proven success, including an Indy 500 win, he'll aim to build on his rookie momentum and become a frontrunner in 2027.
