Mick Schumacher continues to pursue a comeback to Formula 1 following his 2022 exit from the grid.
Mick Schumacher’s top priority for next season is to return to F1 and he aims for a swift comeback to the top of motorsport. As the son of Michael Schumacher, he has spent the last 18 months as Mercedes’ reserve driver after Nico Hulkenberg replaced him at Haas; he has also competed in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with Alpine. Despite enjoying his time in endurance racing, Schumacher’s main goal remains a return to Formula 1. Several drivers have highlighted Carlos Sainz as a key player in the driver market, creating a bottleneck due to his undecided future among Williams, Alpine, and Stake F1/Audi. With Sainz now signed by Williams, teams like Alpine, Stake F1, Mercedes, and RB are yet to confirm their 2025 driver pairings. Schumacher acknowledges the competitive landscape for limited seats and understands the dilemma of teams taking time to decide while drivers like him are eager to secure a spot in both F1 and the WEC. Despite the uncertainty, Schumacher remains committed to F1 and will patiently wait for his opportunity in the sport.
