Mick Schumacher could be in line for a return to the F1 grid in 2025 after Alpine confirmed that Esteban Ocon will leave the team at the end of the season. The German racer is one of two leading options to replace the outgoing Frenchman.
Schumacher’s F1 career looked to be over when Haas opted not to renew his contract for the 2023 season and beyond. The former Formula Two champion spent two underwhelming years with the North Carolina-based outfit in which he failed to make his mark, earning more headlines for his crashes than his performances.
In fact, Schumacher’s trips into the barriers cost Haas £1.6 million ($2m) over the course of the 2022 campaign with the most notable shunt coming at the Monaco Grand Prix as his VF-22 was torn in half.

With no other team willing to take a punt on Schumacher in 2023, he signed with Mercedes as a test and reserve driver and with no seat materialising in 2024, the 24-year-old made his return to full-time racing with Alpine in the World Endurance Championship.
Schumacher has impressed during his blossoming endurance racing career thus far, but his heart has been set on returning to F1 and with a seat now free at Alpine for the 2025 campaign and beyond, he has the perfect opportunity to execute his comeback. However, the path back to the series isn’t totally clear.
