Since being replaced at Haas eighteen months ago, Mick Schumacher has worked towards returning to F1. He spent last season as a reserve driver for Mercedes before forming part of Alpine’s 2024 WEC team. However, Schumacher’s most likely path to F1 is not with either of these teams. Instead, a change of leadership at Audi could provide the 25-year-old with an F1 lifeline.

For the majority of the season, Schumacher’s options in F1 have appeared relatively slim.
With all indications pointing towards Jack Doohan as Ocon’s replacement at Alpine, a path that was previously seen as plausible for the German driver appears to have escaped him.
