With Lewis Hamilton moving from the Silver Arrows at the end of the season there will be plenty of competition for his vacant seat. Reserve driver Mick Schumacher could fill that gap.
Former F1 race winner Ralf Schumacher believes Mick Schumacher has a strong chance of getting the Mercedes seat that will be vacated by Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton will move to Ferrari, ending his 12-season partnership with Mercedes, and this has sparked speculation about who will fill the gap alongside George Russell. Ralf Schumacher, who currently works as a pundit and previously raced for Haas, has written in his Sky Germany column that Mick has earned the opportunity. He believes Mick would be one of the best options among the young drivers, although Carlos Sainz is also on the market. Schumacher also mentioned that he understands Hamilton’s move, as the British driver may have lost confidence in Mercedes over the last two challenging seasons.
