Bitter certainty for Mick Schumacher – will he never drive in Formula 1 again?

Update November 6th: Now there is clarity for Mick Schumacher! Michael Schumacher’s son will not return to Formula 1 next season.

Sauber, which will become the Audi works team from 2026, has now announced that the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto will get the second cockpit alongside Nico Hülkenberg. For Mick Schumacher, this decision is another setback. The 25-year-old last drove as a regular driver in the premier class of motorsport in the 2022 season. Given the current situation, it is doubtful whether he will make the jump back into Formula 1.

New details: Mick Schumacher can hope for a comeback in Formula 1

Update from October 19th: Mick Schumacher can still have hopes of returning to Formula 1. There is still one cockpit available at Sauber for the coming season.

The team will be taken over by Audi from 2026. “I told him that nothing has been decided yet,” said Audi project manager Mattia Binotto to Sky broadcaster at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin. The only thing that is certain so far is that one of the Sauber cockpits will go to Nico Hülkenberg in the coming season. “It has to be a mental decision, not an emotional decision,” explains Binotto, referring to Mick Schumacher’s personality.

Mick Schumacher is not in an easy situation. The son of record world champion Michael Schumacher celebrated his debut in Formula 1 in 2021. However, after his second season with the US team Haas, his contract was not extended.

Since then, Schumacher has been hoping for a (permanent) return to the premier class. The 25-year-old is currently a reserve driver for Mercedes and is also active for Alpine in the World Endurance Championship.

So far, hopes of a cockpit in Formula 1 have repeatedly been dashed, but there is still a possibility for the coming season. Finally, the Sauber racing team still has an available cockpit for 2025. So far only Nico Hülkenberg has been seated.

Special constellation: Audi will take over from Sauber from 2026. “We are considering him as a potential driver. He’s on our list,” confirms Mattia Binotto, head of Audi’s Formula 1 project, with a view to Mick Schumacher.

“I know Mick’s potential, his strengths and weaknesses. He is a very consistent and overall fast driver, a team player who works hard,” continued the Italian. One of Schumacher’s competitors for the coveted cockpit is said to be Valtteri Bottas.

The 35-year-old Finn would bring significantly more experience. In the FAZ interview, Binotto also addresses Mick Schumacher’s weaknesses: “On some tracks he needs a few more attempts to set the fastest lap.”
