Mick Schumacher is back in the F1 spotlight nearly two years after his unpleasant Haas exit. Despite being the heir to 7-time champion Michael Schumacher’s throne, Mick is in an atrociously difficult spot. Though he has a guaranteed seat with Alpine’s WEC team, he longs for an F1 return. However, the French team that has trusted him in the endurance championship isn’t too keen to shift him into their F1 project.
Alpine’s 21-year-old reserve driver Jack Doohan remains the leading contender to be Pierre Gasly’s teammate in 2025. Though Carlos Sainz threw a spanner in the works when Alpine advisor Flavio Briatore approached him for the vacancy, the Spaniard’s Williams move pushed Doohan right back at the top. But what about Mick Schumacher, who won the junior championships in F3 and F2 and has 2 years of F1 experience with Haas?
As the uncertainty continues to loom, the 25-year-old has restated his love for F1. Speaking about his current standing in the F1 driver market, Schumacher told Divebomb, “We’ll have to wait and see. Obviously, everything is very open in Formula 1, at the moment. They are still essentially three or four teams that have no seats under contract.”
