Mick Schumacher can hope for a Formula 1 comeback for the 2026 season.
RTL/NTV and sport.de can confirm the information reported by other media, according to which the 26-year-old son of record world champion Michael Schumacher is a candidate at the new US racing team Cadillac. The team will enter the motorsport king class in the coming year.
One thing is clear: the second cockpit among the Americans is still free. According to information from RTL/NTV and sport.de piloted by Mexican Sergio Pérez in the future.
Colton Herta has been considered the top candidate at Cadillac. The 25-year-old American, who is currently starting in the IndyCar series, still lacks the necessary super license. Maybe as a Cadillac driver, he may not be an option.
Schumacher described Cadillac on the edge of the Miami GPS at “Sky” as a “exciting project” at the weekend. In addition to him, however, ex-Sauer driver Guanyu Zhou can also also have hopes for an introduction to the racing team.
Schumacher fueled the rumors about a Cadillac interest on Saturday with a visit to the Cadillac launch party at the Queen Miami Beach. The Alpine factory pilot in the WEC shook a few hands and enjoyed the evening.
On the racing weekend there was also discussions with those responsible for the team, such as RTL/NTV and sport.de can confirm.
Ralf Schumacher trusts the Formula 1 comeback
Micks Uncle Ralf Traut Schumacher jr. In any case, a comeback.
“Basically, he is a driver who was in Formula 1 and has experience, but has also dealt well with situations,” said the “Sky” expert in Miami. “He didn’t have an easy time in Formula 1, but in the end it really worked out very well. Now the switch to the WEC, where it also works very well, which is important.”
Cadillac needed “a driver with whom you can build something who does not do a crash and who is a team player”, that applies to his nephew.
