The German appeared delighted to be pictured with the Silver Arrows, where his father raced for three seasons in his comeback years between 2010 and 2012.

There is, of course, a seat for the taking at Mercedes in 2025, though it is anticipated that youngster Kimi Antonelli will replace Hamilton at the Silver Arrows.

Still, some fans had their hopes up for Schumacher. Underneath the images from the photoshoot, one wrote: "Hopefully he’ll swap the booth for the Merc seat next year 💪", and another asked, "When will he be in a car??"

Schumacher is next scheduled to be in action in WEC at the Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of The Americas on September 1.
