Mick Schumacher has been linked to various F1 seats since his Haas dismissal in 2022 – but the German was overlooked for a drive on next year’s grid.
A large majority of F1 fans are of the opinion that Mick Schumacher’s potential for a permanent comeback to the grid has now diminished. Following his departure from Haas at the conclusion of the 2022 season, Schumacher has been hunting for a pathway back to the F1 grid. Despite being a contender for a seat at Alpine for the 2025 season, the team ultimately chose to advance junior driver Jack Doohan instead. Speculation also connected Schumacher to a possible mid-season promotion to Williams in lieu of Logan Sargeant, who was ousted after the Dutch Grand Prix, though Franco Colapinto was the one who ultimately received the call-up and debuted in Monza last weekend. After RacingNews365 queried the fans on whether they believed Schumacher’s chances for a full-time return were now foreclosed, more than half of the voters expressed the view that they were indeed over.
