Mick Schumacher’s made no secret of his desire to get a foot back in the F1 door. Here’s how Jenson Button and Cadillac fit into his chance for 2026
Cadillac has been creating suspense by delaying the announcement of its Formula 1 line-up for the upcoming season. While one seat is likely to be filled by an experienced driver such as Sergio Perez or Valtteri Bottas, the second driver remains unknown. Mick Schumacher, with 43 F1 starts, is a potential candidate, currently racing in the World Endurance Championship. Schumacher’s determination to return to F1 may lead him to a reserve and development role at Cadillac, similar to his past role at Mercedes. This arrangement would allow him to continue in WEC and potentially join Cadillac Team Jota, replacing Jenson Button. Joining a top WEC team would align with his ambitions as he remains connected to the F1 world.
