Schumacher reveals 'excitement' over potential F1 return
Mick Schumacher has spoken about the ‘excitement’ over a potential return to F1 in 2025.
Lewis Hamilton’s shocking move to Ferrari for next year left the F1 world stunned and it sent the driver market that had looked static heading into the 2024 season into chaos.
This year will mark the first time in F1 history that the driver lineup remains unchanged from the year before, but 13 of the 20 current drivers on the grid are out of contract at the end of the year.
With Hamilton departing Mercedes, a whole host of names have mentioned in the running to replace him as several drivers’ futures past this year are uncertain – and Schumacher is keeping tabs on things as he remains focused on a return to the grid.

Schumacher eyes F1 return
The son of seven-time world champion Michael, Mick Schumacher raved for three season between 2020 and 2022 with Haas, before being axed by the team in favour of a more experienced driver pairing.
Since then, he has had reserve driver roles with Mercedes and McLaren last season and will race in the World Endurance Championship in the hypercar class with Alpine.
With several connections in the sport, the 24-year-old “didn’t really think much” about the prospects of replacing Hamilton at Mercedes, but that he was keeping an eye on F1’s start to the driver ‘silly season’.

Speaking at the launch of the new Alpine – the A524 – the German said: “What is going to happen in the next year or weeks is still to be revealed, and also for me.
“I’m just excited to see what happens in the future.
“My eye is definitely still pretty much on Formula 1. Because there is now a lot of excitement in the driver market, it could be that one or two doors will open.”
