F1 Teams Scramble: Mick Schumacher's Next Big Move
Jun.14 - Mick Schumacher insists he is still "in talks" to return to Formula 1.
The former Haas racer and Mercedes reserve, now full-time in the WEC and at Le Mans this weekend with Alpine, has regularly been linked with a return to F1.
Currently, whispers suggest he may be in touch with Alpine's F1 team, or the new eleventh team, Cadillac, for 2026.
"It's still a big topic for me," Schumacher, 26, told the German broadcaster ntv at Le Mans.
"I'm always in talks for the future. I deal with it when I'm not at the race tracks here and I have time to deal with it."
Schumacher, whose father Michael is a seven-time world champion, insisted that Formula 1 remains his "big goal in life - my lifelong dream.
"What I want is to drive in Formula 1 and return there. That's why I'm having discussions, even if I haven't found any answers yet."
Separately, in conversation with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), he urged Formula 1 teams to consider him.
"I think the Formula 1 teams know what they have in me," said Schumacher. "I can be at the front in any car and be fast, as my performances so far this year demonstrate."

Unfortunately for him, he's been away from F1 racing excessively long for someone without vast experience & any sporting success in the series, so in reality, he has zero chance, which he'd be better off accepting.
Simply too many comparatively better options for him to jump every single one of them, not to mention he's already been overlooked by several teams, including Alpine (otherwise they would've chosen him as Ocon's direct successor), which is a clear pattern.
"I think the Formula 1 teams know what they have in me,". Did it ever occur to Mick that's the reason why he isn't in F1 any more!
Does anybody really care?? Boring!!
It's a long queue in line for Cadillac! If he was American he may have a very slim chance.
