Schumacher ready for IndyCar move after clearing oval doubts
TL;DR Summary
Mick Schumacher says IndyCar feels like a raw, fun form of motorsport and bears some resemblance to Formula 2, especially with the car’s feel, while weighing up more power and lighter weight. After addressing concerns about oval racing by learning safety measures and conducting road-course tests at Indianapolis and Sebring, he decided to pursue a 2026 IndyCar move and signed with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. He completed a 97-lap oval test at Homestead–Miami Speedway reaching up to 194 mph. IndyCar’s 2026 schedule features five oval races, starting with Phoenix Raceway on March 7, while the season opener is listed as March 1 in St. Petersburg.
