[Saba Sports News] Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher, has followed in his father’s footsteps and embarked on a career in motor sports. However, his F1 journey has been challenging, as he only participated in races for the Haas team for two seasons before losing his seat due to disappointing results. In the subsequent year, he served as a reserve driver for Mercedes, remaining on the sidelines for the entire season. This year, Mick Schumacher has joined the Alpine Racing team and signed up for the nascent Alpine supercar program. He will share the No. 36 car with the French duo of Nicolas Lapierre and Matthieu Vaxiviere for the World Endurance Championship season, including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Despite being “downgraded” to participate in the World Endurance Championship, Mick Schumacher remains focused on his ultimate goal of returning to Formula One. In an interview, he expressed his continued ambition to secure a seat in F1 and fight for a place on the starting grid. Some observers speculate that the Alpine team’s decision to involve Mick Schumacher in the World Endurance Championship is part of a broader plan to strengthen his resolve and ultimately secure his place in the Alpine F1 team.
