The 24-year-old German will comp⛎lete runs in his father’s Mercedes on both the Saturday and Sunday of the three-day festival which takes place on 14-16 July.&n๊bsp;

"It's going to be spectacular to run in my dad’s 2011 car, the W02, even if it is only a short run. Just experiencing this generation🦹 of cars will be mega!” Schumacher said. 

"Knowing t💟hat he raced this car makes it extra special, and there will be many emot♛ions coming with it. I have been lucky enough to drive one of his Benetton cars and some of the Ferraris he raced, but this will be the first time behind the wheel of a Mercedes he drove. 

“I am sure I will g𝕴et out of it with a big sm✤ile on my face.”

The W02 remains the𓆏 only Mercedes F1 car t🔴hat failed to finish on a podium.

Despite b🌸eing a regular points scorer that helped Mercedes clinch fourth place in that season’s constructors’ world championship, the W02’s best result wasꦍ a P4 at the Canadian Grand Prix. 

Schumacher has previously driven F1 cars his legenda𒊎ry dad raced during his time at Jordan, Benetton and Ferrari.ꦜ 

Merced𝓰es will also be running their last championship-winning car, the W12, which will be driven by Esteban Gutierrez.
