The pilots market comes to life even more
In a phase of the championship in which two negotiations were concluded in addition to that of recent months between Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton (specifically the one relating to Hülkenberg’s move to Sauber in 2025 and the renewal of Albon to Williams), the future of several drivers is still surrounded by doubts. Between expiring contracts and not too hidden market objectives on the part of some teams, there are also cases of riders looking for other opportunities to get out of a results crisis.
The Alpine case
A situation which particularly concerns theAlpinewith the possible exit of Ocon and Gasly at the end of the season which could open the doors to a return to the top flight like that of Mick Schumacher, as confirmed in recent days by a German source. A hypothesis that former Haas team principal Günther Steiner doesn’t really believe in, even if the denial came precisely in the last weekend of Imola from the statements of Bruno Faminteam principal of Alpine.
One chance
The Frenchman has in fact confirmed that the German son of art is one of the riders that the Enstone company is taking into serious consideration for next season, especially in a year in which the 25-year-old began his experience in the WEC, precisely in Alpine , after several unsuccessful attempts to return to F1: “It is definitely one of the possibilities, like many others – Famin declared to the media – Mick is doing an incredible job in Endurance, and what is really impressive is his mentality. Sure, he’s fast, but I think everyone knows that. It’s not always helpful to have a great lap time, because the BoP is on top. You have to be a little careful about performance. It’s not about evaluating the pure and simple performance of the driver, but what Mick really made his adaptation to the Endurance mentality is incredible. Mick, from the first minute, was very, very collaborative, really helpful to his teammates.”
His career
European F3 champion in 2018 and Formula 2 in 2020, Schumacher made his debut in Formula 1 with Haas the following year, remaining there also in 2022. This, however, is also his last season in Circusdespite having moved into the role of third driver for Mercedes and two other teams such as McLaren and Williams.
