Disappointment and anticipation are the two words that best describe Mick Schumacher‘s F1 journey. Bearing the Schumacher family name hasn’t been easy for the 25-year-old. As the motorsport community had high hopes for the German driver, his tenure in F1 was not just short but also disheartening. And now when he finally got an opportunity to return, hurdles have come along the way. Was it going to be a cakewalk? No. But, standing face-to-face with an old friend isn’t the ideal situation either.
Alpine seems to be on the verge of signing Jack Doohan. Apparently, the Australian driver’s test results were better than Mick’s. However, there have been no official announcements from the French side. It’s funny how motorsport could turn the dearest of friends into rivals. Remember when Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg turned into sworn enemies, just for the sake of the championship? Hopefully, no such foul event will occur this time. However, this fight for the F1 spot has brought out the age-old Schumacher-Doohan connection.
