Mick Schumacher has aspirations of making a comeback to the F1 grid.
From Formula 1 to the World Endurance Championship to IndyCar? Mick Schumacher has caught the attention of Dale Coyne Racing who are “talking” with the German.
Mick Schumacher, the son of the legendary seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, experienced a challenging period throughout his two seasons racing for Haas. Eventually, he was released by the team’s former boss, Guenther Steiner.
‘Mick Schumacher still pinning his hopes on the Alpine commitment’
Mercedes were quick to snap him up, but as a reserve driver, which is a role he retained this season as he dovetailed that with a World Endurance programme as an Alpine driver.
However, despite his connections with two F1 teams, it has been reported that the German will not be able to make a comeback to the grid for the 2025 championship.
While it has been widely reported that Mercedes could promote junior driver Kimi Antonelli, Auto Motor und Sport claims Alpine’s first pick should they not retain either Pierre Gasly or Esteban Ocon is Jack Doohan, with Victor Martins also in the running.
Therefore, Schumacher’s racing career has the potential to embark on a fresh path, leading him to an unexplored continent.
Dale Coyne from IndyCar is reportedly eager to sign the 25-year-old, as stated by the German publication.

“He said that many Formula 2 drivers, including Mick Schumacher, finish in top positions but lack a promising future in Formula 1.”
“We are excited to extend a warm welcome to such an exceptional driver at our establishment.”
“We are currently in conversation with Mick Schumacher, who remains optimistic about his commitment to Alpine. If given the opportunity, it would bring us great joy.”
Schumacher has expressed his desire to make a comeback in Formula 1 racing.
Driving in Formula 1 is not just a goal or a dream for me; it is my lifelong ambition that has remained unchanged throughout the years.
Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the circumstances align in my favor and ultimately secure a seat.
To contribute towards that goal, I will strive to deliver exceptional performances in both the WEC and Formula 1. Additionally, I will continue to serve as a reserve driver for the team, ensuring that I consistently perform at a high level. Furthermore, I will actively engage in ongoing discussions to explore further opportunities and possibilities.
