The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, believes that competing in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) could benefit Mick Schumacher’s chances of returning to Formula 1 in the future. Schumacher, who was dropped by Haas after the 2021 and 2022 seasons, has secured a race seat with Alpine in the WEC. Wolff sees this as a great opportunity for Schumacher and believes it will keep him sharp and potentially aid his return to F1. Schumacher himself admits that it has been frustrating to be on the sidelines this year, but he is keen to further his development and help the team succeed. He also values the relationships he has built within the Mercedes team, which he describes as a very special bond.
