Corinna Schumacher, the wife of the seven-time world champion, rarely appears in public, certainly not in the Formula 1 paddock. The last time was over a year ago in Baku, but this weekend she visited the paddock of the Austrian Red Bull Ring circuit in the company of her son Mika.
For more than ten years, she has cared for her husband, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury on a ski slope in the French Alps, and has devoted her life completely to this difficult mission. The European press immediately suggested that her visit to the paddock could have a special meaning: she was probably trying to support Mick in some way in his negotiations for a possible return to Formula 1 in 2025.
Mick Schumacher is currently the reserve driver for Mercedes and competes in endurance races for the Alpine factory team. Of course, Corinna’s appearance in the paddock immediately attracted the attention of photographers, and judging by the photos, she is in a good mood and looks very elegant.
In particular, Gazzetta dello Sport put forward the version that, although there remains a vacancy in Alpine F1, this can be considered the most likely option to continue the career of Schumacher Jr. Logic dictates that now that Flavio Briatore, who led Benetton at the time when Michael Schumacher won his first championship titles with this team, has returned to the Renault factory team, Corinna has something to talk to him about.
After all, Alpine is the next incarnation of the Enstone-based team, which has changed names several times over the past two decades, and having a driver named Schumacher compete for it again could be an interesting move.
