The Formula 1 season resumes after the summer break, with Alpine filling the cockpits for 2025 with Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan. Mick Schumacher's chances for a comeback are dwindling, as there are only three free cockpits left at Racing Bulls, Sauber, and Mercedes.
Sauber will become the Audi works team in 2026, and Nico Hülkenberg will drive for Audi in 2025. Schumacher replaced Hülkenberg at Haas in 2023. Lewis Hamilton is making a switch to Ferrari, and Carlos Sainz Jr. will drive for Williams in 2025. Alpine's promotion of Jack Doohan as a full-time driver for 2025 further diminishes Schumacher's options.
However, Sauber, which will become the Audi works team, might still be a possibility for him. The recent personnel changes at Alpine, including the appointment of Flavio Briatore as an advisor and the departure of Bruno Famin as team principal, seem to have worked against Schumacher.
Doohan, the son of motorcycle legend Mick Doohan, has a close friendship with Michael Schumacher. Currently, Mick Schumacher is the test and reserve driver for Mercedes after spending two years with the underperforming Haas team in Formula 1.
