Mick Schumacher could be in line for a return to Formula 1 from the start of next season.

Mick, son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael, followed in his father’s footsteps by competing in F1 when he drove for Haas in 2021 and 2022, finishing 19th and 16th respectively in the drivers’ standings.

However, he was dropped for the 2023 season in favour of veteran Nico Hulkenberg and is the current reserve driver for Mercedes.


 

He is yet to have an opportunity to compete for the British-based team but signed up to the Alpine World Endurance Championship (WEC) programme ahead of this year, with the 25-year-old set to race at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans next month.

The French team could offer Schumacher a route back into the sport due to unrest between their current drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who are both out of contract at the end of the campaign.
