Mick Schumacher will also start in the 2025 season in the WEC for Rennstall Alpine. The next year in the long -distance series should only be a stopover on the way back to Formula 1 for the German. However, Günther Steiner fears that this plan will not work.
Mick Schumacher’s last Formula 1 start is now more than 800 days. At the end of November 2022, the 25-year-old started for the last time in a race of the motorsport king class. It is questionable whether he will return after this long break. Quite a few say: unlikely to excluded.
Schumacher’s former Haas team boss Günther Steiner belongs to the second camp. In an exclusive interview with RTL/NTV and sport.de The South Tyrolean said a few days before the start of the new Formula 1 season that he personally no longer expect a comeback from Schumacher in the premier class.
Mick back into Formula 1? “It will be difficult”
“It will be difficult. If you don’t drive for a long time, and this year many seats were free, it will somehow difficult to get back in there,” said Steiner in view of the numerous options that the driver market gave in the past few months, but no one could grasp.
Schumacher’s name has been traded again and again in various race stables in the past few months. For example at Williams or Alpine. Both teams ultimately opted for other drivers. Mick is again only the option of recommending good performance in the WEC for higher tasks.
Can he do that? Steiner has doubts. “I don’t think. I don’t think he’ll not,” the RTL expert replied when asked whether Schumacher would make it into the Formula 1 paddock again in his eyes.
