Mick Schumacher Rejected By Williams For 2024 Seat claims he's a son of...

Mick Schumacher’s bid for a 2024 Williams F1 seat has been unsuccessful, leading him to explore alternative racing ventures for the coming year.

Mick Schumacher’s aspirations for a 2024 seat at Williams have been thwarted, according to recent reports. Despite significant backing and an impressive track record, the promising driver has apparently not been selected for the upcoming season.

While Mick Schumacher was eyed as a potential replacement for struggling Williams driver Logan Sargeant, Williams seems to have other plans.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff heavily promoted Schumacher to Williams’ new team boss James Vowles, even sharing simulator data.
Following a promising trial, Brazilian Aston Martin test driver Felipe Drugovich emerges as a front-runner for Sargeant’s seat, potentially aided by a substantial sponsorship.

The backdrop to this story is US driver Logan Sargeant’s underwhelming performance in recent times. His inconsistency, punctuated by frequent track departures and a notable accident in Singapore, has cast doubt over his future with the British outfit.

Ralf Schumacher, the Sky pundit and Mick’s uncle, remarked to F1 Insider:

Amidst the speculation, Schumacher was frequently cited as the prime candidate to replace Sargeant. Following his departure from Haas at the end of 2022, Mercedes chief Toto Wolff championed Mick, even positioning him as a substitute and development driver. Wolff approached Williams’ new team boss James Vowles with compelling data from Schumacher’s Mercedes simulator sessions. Yet, Vowles was not convinced.
