While many in the motorsport community, including Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, believe Schumacher deserves another chance, the road ahead is anything but straightforward. Amid the uncertainty, new developments have emerged to keep Schumacher’s hopes alive.
Is Mick still in the race?
The Formula One world has been abuzz with speculation about the future of Alpine’s driver line-up, and in particular the possibility of Mick Schumacher securing a seat. Initial reports suggested that Alpine had decided against Schumacher in favour of promoting Jack Doohan for the 2025 season.

However, according to F1 Insider website, the situation may not be as clear-cut as it first appeared.

Contrary to earlier suggestions, the final decision on who will replace Esteban Ocon at Alpine has not yet been made. This continuing uncertainty means that Schumacher remains in contention for the coveted cockpit. Veteran Formula One reporter Ralf Bach weighed in on the matter during an interview on the F1 Insider YouTube channel, suggesting that the narrative surrounding Doohan’s selection may be premature.

“The Doohan management has always been known to feed prophecies, especially to the English media. I don’t think a decision has been made yet,” said Bach, casting doubt on the certainty of Doohan’s contract.
