Mick Schumacher is currently driving for Haas in F1 but runs out of contract at the end of this season
Alpine seems to be looking for a new driver for next season now that Oscar Piastri has said he will not race for the French team in 2023. One of the candidates is Mick Schumacher and the rumours are getting louder now that the young German has been following Laurent Rossi on Instagram since this week. Rossi is the CEO of Alpine and is, therefore responsible for finding a successor to Fernando Alonso.
Schumacher is still under contract at Haas F1 until the end of the season, but his relationship with team boss Guenther Steiner does not seem great. The two men clashed earlier in the season after the German’s performance fell short of expectations. There was dissatisfaction on both sides so it would not be surprising if the cooperation does not continue.
Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher feels Mick switching to Alpine is ‘possible’
Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher thinks a switch of his nephew Mick Schumacher to the Alpine team is entirely possible. With no German Formula 1 driver having a contract for the 2023 season as yet, Ralf sees a surprise signing up of Mick Schumacher to the French team as a distinct possibility.
“Mick hasn’t signed a contract yet either. Therefore, he would be a candidate. A candidate with speed, as you have seen”, said Ralf, commenting on Mick’s chances of joining Alpine.
Another former F1 driver, Hans-Joachim Stuck, is convinced that Mick Schumacher is qualified for a better team than Haas and can’t believe the 2023 Formula One season could actually take place without a German driver. With Sebastian Vettel will retiring at the end of the year, and Mick Schumacher still without a contract for next season, this is a distinct possibility.
