New movement in the future poker around Mick Schumacher. The German is said to have a farewell to Alpine and could still land at Cadillac. There he would not be a Formula 1 master driver, but could be in third place behind the two solid pilots.
The Formula 1 dream of Mick Schumacher has apparently not burst. This is suggested by a report by the magazine “Auto, Motor und Sport”, which means that the German could switch from Alpine to Cadillac at the end of the current WEC season. This with the aim of playing a role in the Formula 1 planning of the Americans.
If Mick ends the alpine chapter and switch to Cadillac, “this could perhaps suggest that Schumacher is aiming for the role as a F1 test and reserve driver at Cadillac”, “car, engine and sports”, which in this context refers to Schumacher’s double role in the 2024 season, in which the 26-year-old replacement driver for the Formula 1 team was also Alpine started in the WEC.
Does Schumacher get a double role at Cadillac?
At Cadillac, Schumacher could take this double role under one roof. The background: In addition to Formula 1, the US giant is also on the road in numerous other racing classes, including in the WEC, where the in-house JONTA team needs a new driver from 2026 after ex-F1 world champion Jenson Button will withdraw. Schumacher could be his successor and become a kind of “all -purpose weapon” for the group.
It remains to be seen whether this scenario occurs at the end. The fact is that Cadillac has not yet presented a driver for his first Formula 1 season. The fact is that the rumors recently condensed that the US team will rely on the pairing of Sergio Pérez/Valtteri Bottas. Both veterans are said to have already agreed with the Formula 1 newcomer.
