Schumacher, raised in Gland, Switzerland, began his career in karting in 2008, progressing to the German ADAC Formula 4 by 2015. He initially used the pseudonym 'Mick Betsch' to avoid the spotlight due to the fame of his father, Michael Schumacher. After winning the 2018 FIA F3 European Championship, he progressed to Formula 2 in 2019, and won the 2020 Formula 2 Championship, with Prema Racing.
His progression into Formula One saw him join the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2019, testing for Ferrari and Alfa Romeo before making his practice debut in the 2020 season. Schumacher competed in Formula One for Haas F1 Team in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. In 2023, he took on a new role as a reserve driver for both Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team and McLaren F1 Team. Mick Schumacher joined Alpine's World Endurance Hypercar team for the 2024 season.
He is the son of seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher, nephew of Ralf Schumacher and cousin of David Schumacher, all racing drivers.
