Mick Schumacher has confirmed that talks with the prospective Cadillac Formula 1 entry are progressing well, describing the ongoing discussions as “very positive”. The German driver, who has been out of a full-time seat since the end of 2022, is understood to be among several candidates under consideration for a potential seat. Schumacher made his debut in the sport over four years ago with another American outfit in Haas, but was dropped after just two seasons. To maintain his competitive edge, Schumacher transitioned to endurance racing with Alpine in the World Endurance Championship and is now in his second campaign. Cadillac, backed by General Motors and operating under TWG Motorsports, will join F1 as the sport’s 11th team in 2026, marking the first new constructor since Haas in 2016. Several names have been suggested to lead the driver line-up, including experienced racers like Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez, and Daniel Ricciardo, promising young talents such as Alex Dunne and Felipe Drugovich, as well as American prospects like Colton Herta and Jak Crawford. Among these candidates, Schumacher has recently revealed that he is actively engaged in negotiations with the team.
