"He is an option"
Formula 1: Spectacular turnaround for Mick Schumacher
Following recent rumors that Mick Schumacher would also have to watch next year in the premier class of motorsport, a spectacular turnaround is now in the offing: The son of legend Michael Schumacher may continue to flirt with the last open cockpit for the 2025 Formula 1 season, that of Sauber/Audi!
It has not yet been decided who will take the second cockpit alongside Nico Hülkenberg. However, it is now known that Sauber/Audi still has Mick Schumacher on its radar. "We are definitely looking at him. He is one of the names we have in mind," revealed Team Principal Mattia Binotto in an interview with the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera".
"I know his strengths"
Schumacher was in the Haas cockpit from 2021 to 2022 before having to make way for Hülkenberg. Since then, the 25-year-old has been hoping for a return to motorsport's premier class. "I've met him and spoken to him," confirms Binotto. "I've known him for a long time, since I was in the Ferrari Driver Academy. I know his strengths and advantages."
The other candidates
So could Schumacher be back in Formula 1 soon after all? It was recently said that Valtteri Bottas had the best chance of taking the vacant seat at Sauber/Audi. Frenchman Theo Pourchaire and Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto are also apparently hopeful.
