Mick Schumacher will not be on the Formula 1 grid by 2023. He lost his seat at Haas, which will occupy it Nico Hulkenberg. And now his only option to settle for being a reserve driver at Mercedes, behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
How did Mick find out he wasn’t going to continue on the team? As reported by the German newspaper ‘Bild’, Guenther Steinerhead of Haas, told the pilot at the hotel that the team had in Abu Dhabi, before the Grand Prix was held.
In addition, the medium reveals that at no time did “serious negotiations” take place between both parties. So it is clear that Haas, who had already warned him with statements like “it’s costing us a fortune”He always thought of looking for a replacement for him by 2023.
Meanwhile, Mick lets himself be loved by Mercedes. The one that seems the only option for him to be in F1. “My father made the switch from Ferrari to MercedesI don’t see a reason why not…”, Schumacher said in statements collected by ‘Race Fans’.
“Now I have time, so I will consider all the options I have and then hopefully make the right decision for me. It is humbling to hear what Mercedes and especially Toto (Wolff) say about me”, has completed the young German pilot.
His adventure as the first driver in F1 has lasted very little. His results have not been good. Especially this year in which Haas has been more competitive. Kevin Magnussen He has clearly surpassed him.
And the North American team has opted for a veteran couple for next year, regardless of Mick. He will have to wait for a new opportunity at Mercedes… although not as a starting driver.
