Mick Schumacher will join the Meyer Shank Racing’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES program starting in 2027, driving the No. 66 MSR Honda alongside returning driver Marcus Armstrong in the No. 60 MSR Honda.

Former Formula One driver Schumacher has adapted quickly to the demands of North American open-wheel racing in his first NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, including his first experience racing on ovals.

Schumacher qualified fourth at Phoenix Raceway and most recently qualified fourth for Race 2 in Milwaukee. He went on to score a season-best eighth-place finish at Nashville Superspeedway. Schumacher also made his Indianapolis 500 debut in May, completing all 200 laps and winning the Indy 500 Rookie of the Year honors in his first start on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval.

“I’m super excited to be working with everyone at Meyer Shank Racing and really excited to be joining such an ambitious team,” Schumacher said. “It’s going to be a special journey to start working with MSR. I am looking forward to what more I can learn from the team. They’ve had some really great success, and of course, going to an Indy 500-winning team is awesome.

“It will be great to start meeting everyone on the team and working with MSR’s partners. I’m really just excited to begin working toward 2027 together and really start thinking about how we can create a great partnership together.”

Joining Schumacher at MSR in 2027 will be the advanced materials company ENVE Composites. Based in Ogden, Utah, ENVE designs and manufactures high-performance carbon fiber bicycles, wheels and components engineered to optimize aerodynamics, strength-to-weight ratios, and race day performance.

In addition to its recently launched ENVE Motorsports, which competes in the USF2000 and Indy NXT series, ENVE has a well-established track record of winning at the highest level of professional cycling, including the Tour de France, through its partnership with UAE Team Emirates-XRG. The team competes on ENVE wheels and components, with pro rider Tadej PogaÄŤar using ENVE equipment on his way to five overall Tour de France victories and two UCI World Championships.

“We’re very excited to have Mick and ENVE join us next year,” MSR co-owner Mike Shank said. “He really impressed us in his first season of INDYCAR. It is not an easy series to come into, and the competition is incredibly tight, but when you look at what he’s accomplished and the progress he’s made throughout the year, we see a lot of potential in him.

“He’s also shown tremendous pace on the ovals, which is a huge hurdle for any driver coming into INDYCAR without that experience. He’s adapted quickly, and we’re excited to see what he can do with another year of experience and with our group around him.

“And, of course, we’re excited to welcome ENVE onboard. The same values drive ENVE that drive MSR, and we’re both aiming for victories in our own disciples. I think that it is a perfect fit for us to join together.”

Before moving to INDYCAR, Schumacher built an accomplished resume across several of the highest levels of international motorsports. He captured the 2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship before winning the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2020. His success in Formula 2 earned him a promotion to Formula One, where he made 43 Grand Prix starts with Haas F1 Team across the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Schumacher, son of legendary seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, later added sports car racing to his resume. He competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s premier Hypercar category. His endurance racing experience includes multiple starts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans as well as podium finishes in FIA WEC competition.
