Mick Schumacher confirms ‘very positive’ talks over STUNNING F1 return
Mick Schumacher has confirmed talks with an F1 team for a potential return to the grid after three seasons away from the sport. Schumacher, son of Michael Schumacher, competed with Haas in 2021 and 2022 but was replaced by Nico Hulkenberg for 2023 due to mistakes. He then served as the reserve driver at Mercedes before joining the world endurance championship with Alpine for 2024 and 2025. Despite achieving podium finishes, Schumacher’s main goal is to secure a full-time F1 seat, with rumors linking him to Alpine or the new Cadillac F1 team. Talks with Cadillac are ongoing, with Schumacher expressing enthusiasm for the project and the team’s potential. Potential 2026 F1 lineup includes Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez, and others, with Bottas and Perez as frontrunners for the Cadillac seats, though Alpine may also be interested in Bottas. Schumacher, with his F1 experience and 43 starts, is considering the opportunity, even though he may not be the most experienced option for Cadillac’s debut season.
