Mick on the list
In 2013, when he joined the Mercedes team for the first time alongside Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton effectively replaced Michael Schumacher, who had announced his second retirement from racing after a stingy three years of success under the banner of the Stuttgart company. In eleven months, when Hamilton himself will definitively say goodbye to the Brackley team to join Ferrari, that thread with the past could be reconnected.
In fact, there is also one of the candidates to replace the seven-time world champion, now betrothed to the Cavallino Mick Schumacher. His candidacy is perhaps not among the strongest but it is certainly on the table, if only for the fact that the German son of art is and remains at the moment the reserve driver for Mercedes. Mick, who this year will also be involved in the world endurance championship with Alpine, was also sponsored by his uncle Ralf Schumacher.
Uncle heart
The former Jordan, Williams and Toyota driver pleaded his nephew's cause through an intervention on German TV Sky Deutschland, for which he is a commentator. “There won't be many candidates and I wonder what Toto Wolff wants to do – Schumacher asked – George Russell, if he doesn't make any mistakes, is certainly capable of following in Lewis' footsteps and leading the team. The question is whether he will rely on experience or rely on the talent of the future. Mick is one of the best options among the youngsters“.
Continuing his analysis, 'Uncle Ralf' explained why Mick could actually play his cards: “There is also Carlos Sainz on the market, but I think it is more likely that he will land at Audi. I think Mick's options are good and he deserves an opportunity. He would be a good rider to partner with Russell to grow in the future. I'm pretty sure about this, now we need to see if Toto has the same opinion, but so far I've only heard good things about Mick.”he concluded.
