F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve believes any team that hires Mick Schumacher wants the image that comes with his name and will be hoping he is “better than he was at Haas.”
Jacques Villeneuve believes that signing Mick Schumacher would be a risky move for teams, as there is skepticism about his improvement since his time at Haas. Despite Schumacher’s efforts, there hasn’t been significant interest from teams to recruit him. After parting ways with Haas in 2022, Schumacher has been involved with Mercedes and Alpine, taking on roles as a reserve and development driver as well as participating in endurance racing.
