We mentioned that Haas started negotiations in Singapore with Mick Schumacher on a contract extension for 2023. However, the services of a German racer could be interesting and Williams team leader Jost Kapito confirmed that Mick is on the list to replace Nicholas Latifi.
Jost Capito: “Mick deserves to stay in Formula 1. Let’s see if he stays, but he’s definitely on our list. It would be great if a racer with the last name Schumacher played for Williams. Mick has the potential to become a very good Formula 1 driver.
He is in his second season and if you look at George Russell, he also made mistakes at Williams in his second season, but he improved. It is difficult to enter Formula 1 from Formula 2 because the cars are more complex and require more technical knowledge from the driver. The rider should be given two years to feel comfortable, so that in the third season he shows what he is capable of.
Williams is considering Logan Sargent’s candidacy alongside Schumacher, but the team will not rush to a decision.
“Logan is definitely on the list as he is a member of our youth program and has the support of the team,” continued Capito. “He has performed fantastically in his debut season in Formula 2, but he is not the only candidate.
We have time to make a decision. In this situation it would be wrong to set time limits. We will monitor the development of the situation and make a statement at the appropriate time.”
