Mick Schumacher’s slim chances of ever making it back to F1 appear over after his latest snub.
Mattia Binotto criticized Toto Wolff’s handling of Mick Schumacher’s situation, as Schumacher was overlooked for the 2025 seat at Stake F1. Schumacher’s opportunity to return to Formula 1 was limited to this seat alongside Nico Hulkenberg after being dropped by Haas in 2022. Despite being a contender for the Stake seat, Schumacher was passed over in favor of F2 driver Gabriel Bortoleto by Binotto. Wolff, on the other hand, chose to promote rookie Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes instead of giving Schumacher a chance elsewhere. Binotto acknowledged Schumacher as a strong candidate but ultimately decided to go with Bortoleto, questioning Wolff’s decision-making process in the process.
