Missing out on a Formula 1 seat for 2024, Mick Schumacher is ready to take on a new season with Alpine in the World Endurance Championship. Revealing his future racing plans, the 24-year-old racing driver said that he won’t hesitate to follow a non-F1 route in the future if opportunities compel him to do so.
Schumacher was ousted from his Haas F1 driver role at the end of the 2022 season after racing for two years with the American outfit. In 2023, there wasn’t a single available driver position with any of the F1 teams on the grid.
As a result, Schumacher found himself on the sidelines with Mercedes in the role of a reserve driver while actively seeking a racing seat. Towards the end of the previous year, he secured a deal with Alpine for the WEC program. Fortunately, his new contract enables him to take on reserve driver responsibilities with Mercedes.
Schumacher added that he got to learn a lot while being alongside Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at Mercedes. He said:

“I guess the biggest point for me to elaborate on [is] I know as a driver now much more what I want from my team around me, from what I feel like I’m worth and what I can bring to a team.
“Obviously going into my first year in F1 it was kind of hard to know exactly what my position should be, and how far can I go with my comments and everything.
“Having worked with Lewis and George for one year now, I kind of know how high the bar is set and how far I can go, and I have no problem sharing my information in the future.”
