Mick Schumacher lost his Haas seat in 2023, owing to team boss Guenther Steiner replacing him with Nico Hulkenberg. Now, Schumacher has a chance to make a comeback in the premier class of motorsport, that too as Hulkenberg’s teammate. That opportunity could arise for the 2025 season when Hulkenberg moves base to Sauber. Schumacher, on the other hand, has the ‘bottle cork,’ a phrase he used for Carlos Sainz, out of the way.
The 25-year-old, however, knows that the move might take a while. Speaking with Divebomb, he said, “A lot of teams don’t have the pressure to make a decision right now, which leaves me a bit in suspense as well. However, F1 will always be the priority in everything I do, so until it’s completely closed for me, I’ll wait for it and focus on that.”
He does not, however, rule out the possibility of the teams finalizing their driver lineups earlier than expected. That is because Sainz has finally made a decision to join Williams in 2025.
Most teams, including Sauber, soon to be rebranded as Audi, were chasing the Spaniard. His final decision held up the movement of other drivers as well, which should now open up.
