Mick Schumacher has seemingly brushed aside the possibility of replacing Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next season.
Last week, Hamilton shocked everyone by announcing that he would be leaving his team, where he has won six out of his seven F1 drivers’ titles. He will be joining Ferrari, a team he has always dreamed of driving for. There has been much speculation about who will replace him, with Schumacher’s name being mentioned due to his role as reserve driver for Mercedes. However, Schumacher has made it clear that he is focused on his WEC career with Alpine and hasn’t really considered the Mercedes seat. He is happy with his current engineering team and believes they have a good understanding of what they need to succeed. Schumacher is excited about his move to Alpine, as it is a new project with high ambitions. He will be racing alongside experienced teammates in the WEC, and although he feels like a rookie again, he is happy to be part of the team.
