F1, new hypothesis pops up for Mick Schumacher

According to Sportmediaset reports Mick Schumacher could end up in Mercedes. With Nyck De Vries in AlphaTauri and Stoffel Vandoorne in Aston Martin, the Silver Arrows have been left without a third driver and have reportedly put the German in their sights.

Toto Wolff in recent weeks had also thought about signing Daniel Ricciardo, who, however, remained rather cold to the hypothesis. The Australian is also waiting for a signal from Red Bull, which has to deal with Sergio Perez’s contract, which expires in 2023.

According to Bernie Ecllestone, on the other hand, Mick Schumacher should leave Formula 1 and try other championships: “I don’t think he will still be in Haas next year, people were disappointed with his performance. We don’t know if it was because of him or the team, but obviously it’s hard to find someone who will put him in a winning team. At the moment there is no place. He needs to forget F1 and concentrate on other motor sports series. His name is his biggest burden, and he tries to stick to it as best he can. And that’s what makes it difficult for him,” he told RTL.
