Mick Schumacher is “one of the possibilities” to race in F1 next year after his “incredible job” in endurance racing with Alpine, says Bruno Famin

Mick Schumacher is a “possibility” for Alpine F1’s 2025 seat as team principal Bruno Famin was impressed with his “incredible” performance in the World Endurance Championship. This comes after reports of Alpine’s interest in the German driver surfaced earlier.

The 25-year-old has not raced in F1 since the 2022 season. After his contract with Haas ended, Mercedes signed him as their reserve driver. However, he did not have the opportunity to drive during a race. Schumacher got the chance to race in WEC after Alpine signed him for this season.

Analyzing his performance in the championship, Famin revealed that Mick Schumacher is one of the choices for 2025. He told the media in Imola including

“He’s one of the possibilities for sure. Like many, like many. Mick is doing an incredible job in endurance. What is very impressive is his mindset.”

“Of course, he’s fast, but I think everybody knows he’s fast. It’s not always useful to do a very good lap time – because you have the BoP (Balance of Performance) on top. You have to be a bit careful with the performance.”

Alpine has not confirmed their driver lineup for the 2025 F1 season yet. Both Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly do not have a contract post the current season. Their future plans regarding the team are unknown at the moment, which boosts Schumacher‘s chances.

Before the start of this season, the German driver’s chances of getting back into F1, especially with Alpine, seemed rather limited.
