The 19-year-old European F3 champion will make his ROC debut on January 19-20, 2019 at the Foro Sol stadium located at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit.
In Mexico City, Schumacher will join forces with Vettel who won six consecutive ROC Nations Cup titles with Mick’s father, the great Michael Schumacher, and the young charger hopes to pick up where his father left off with his countryman in 2012.
“I am overwhelmed that I’ve been invited to participate in the Race Of Champions as the champion of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship,” said Mick.
“And I’m even more overwhelmed that I’m going to form Team Germany with Sebastian Vettel.

“It’s going to be tough because Sebastian is a big player in the Race Of Champions and of course I want to be a worthy team-mate for him!

“Now the ROC weekend will be just as spectacular for me. Such a debut at such an event is simply sensational.”
