After Alfa Romeo decided to leave the team line-up unchanged in 2024, Mick Schumacher’s chances of returning to Formula 1 became even smaller. There may also be a vacancy at Williams if they don’t renew Logan Sargent’s contract, but this is just a theory.
In a recent interview, Mick said that he already has a kind of “Plan B”, but he did not reveal any details, but the German press suggests that we are talking about endurance racing.
It is reported that Bruno Famen, vice-president of Alpine Motorsport, has already held preliminary negotiations with Sabine Kehm, Schumacher’s manager, and invited Mick to test the A424 sports prototype, which the Renault factory team will use in the WEC next year.
Although there is no official confirmation yet, the Bild newspaper already expects that the son of the seven-time world champion will have the opportunity to make his debut during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, it is still too early to talk about this, because even if the rumors are true, Mick may not want to change his racing role, or he will not like something in the tests, or Alpine will change their mind for some reason . – options are possible.
Let’s wait for the development of the events, but now we can note that the choice of Alpine was probably not accidental, because one of Mick’s best friends is Esteban Ocon, and he could very well put in a good word for him at the new bosses.
