Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has said that driving in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) is a 'very good opportunity' for Mick Schumacher to prove his skills can still be of use in Formula 1.
While he has said that he has been enjoying that particular role, Schumacher wanted to gain a full-time spot in racing once more, and has been given that opportunity with Alpine's endurance team, racing in the WEC.

“I think him going into WEC, which is a world championship with a constructor, with Alpine, is a very good opportunity for him," Wolff told Mercedes' F1 2023 review show.
“I believe he’s going to do a perfect job and it keeps him sharp, racing, and maybe coming back into Formula 1.”
