Mick Schumacher might be about to embark on a new challenge racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship, but he insists that his heart remains in a future return to Formula 1.
The son of seven-time world champion Michael spent two seasons racing with the Haas F team, but he was let go at the end of 2022 after a series of expensive mistakes.
He took on a reserve role at Mercedes last year, and in 2024 will return to competition in WEC with the Alpine team, but Schumacher admitted that the demotion hadn’t been as smooth as it might have looked from the outside.
“It does include a lot of hair pulling and tearing, and I feel like you don’t really see that,” he said. “F1 has always been a dream, and it will always remain the dream.”
But Schumacher said it was important that he got back to racing rather getting ‘rusty’ on the sidelines.
There is no reason to stay here, not race, fall behind everybody,” he said. “I would rather go out there, find something to race and develop my skills.
