No, he only gets another chance because he is a Schumacher. It would be a better world if people got into positions based on merit rather than who's son you are or who you know. Mick has had his chance - 2 years, which was a bigger chance than many. I would be much more excited to hear a young driver was getting a chance like Lawson, Bearman, Antonelli etc.

Yes I never fully written off Mick.

What I HATE about people is how hard they are on Mick. Does he have the same potential as his father to be a world champion? Realisticallly, no. But does he have the potential to at least have a decent F1 career, with points scoring, maybe podiums, and maybe-just maybe a race win? If given the right car and right circumstances, sure. All people talk about is how crash prone he is. If I recall correctly, he had two major crashes in 2022, just two. Jeddah and Monaco. Were they costly? Yes, but only because it's HAAS were talking about. There was contact with Vettel and a smaller shunt in Suzuka in FP during heavy rain. Out of 23 races, four incidents doesn't really strike me as "all he can do is crash, nothing else". And he didn't really get the best treatment at HAAS. The very open criticism and ultimatum by Steiner...the fact that he found out he'd be sacked for next year in a hotel lobby... What I'm getting at is, he may not be a generational talent, but he is at the very least, a decent driver. And yes, I may be biased because I'm a fan of his dads to this day, but I personally feel that he does deserve another chance to really prove himself. Although, whether the Alpine would be the healthiest environment for that, is heavily debatable...

Sorry but all the money from all the crashes he was in regardless of the comparison with mazepin was also paramount... So it was not just about being favourably threaten or not ... He was an inconsistent driver and a "bankrupter" prone driver ... Probably with alpine it'll be better but it seems Liam Lawson would be a much better fit

@@14GoOdLiFe I'm not defending his actual mistakes, and I understand that they were pretty costly to the team. But I respectfully disagree about him being inconsistent. He did have very decent pace compared to KMag and within the realm of what the car was capable of. What irks me is that his mistakes are all some people see and judge him by. Also, I don't know how much it matters in the grand scheme of things, but the biggest crashes happened earlier into the season. But there was clear improvement throughout the year, some people just refuse to see that.

He's quite literally a very underperforming driver and athlete, regardless of who his father is. He's not even able perform at the back of the grid, he's proven it multiple times.

You could promote the top 10 racers in F2 and all of them would be points scorers in a decent car. It’s not hard to find a decent driver, that’s not what teams are looking for.

At the end of the day, I never said, I'm right, it's just my own personal opinion. You could argue that he had two seasons to prove himself, failed to do so and was booted from F1. Not the first and not the last driver with the same fate. And you may be right, I acknowledge that. From my personal view, even if he's not a future world champion, he still has more to offer than what we got to see in 2022, and I also feel that people tend to see his mistakes only and not his entire season...and that he was somewhat done dirty by HAAS. And I did say I'm a bit biased 😃 But you are definitely right in that there is a list of young talents if F2 who are queueing up, desperately waiting for their opportunity in F1

hes been very quick in wec the alpine car is going through a development phase there but hes been solid

If only MSC didnot have an accident😢😢 we would have seen a different era with Max vs Lewis vs Mick. Anyways I wish him good and hope he gets a second chance atleast prove his worth of being a decent driver.

Every one deserves a chance. Better to looze which makes your stronger... Life is not all about winning....

Mick would be better off in a williams seat. Alpine is going downhill. He had a rough time at haas, so unless his race craft really improved at merc being a reserve, and alpine WEC, i think itll just be a repeat of Haas. I was expecting him to be moved up to merc for a year as a buffer or go to williams. But makes sense, he already drives alpine wec lmp. I hope he does good though. Would be nice to see a Schumacher on the grid again.

I would love to see him back in f1 very much deserved

As long as they have plenty of spare parts.

When you have a car as shitty as the Haas was when Mick was driving, the only option to achieve anything is to push as hard as possible. I rather go over the limit, risking dnf but get close to points or sometimes score some, than being 19th and 20th crossing the line lapped two times… Wouldn’t consider Mick a bad driver, he did really well back when Haas got his back but as soon as the team started to doubt him he lost confidence. He is doing really well in endurance racing and the F1-Test were also really good. It would be nice to see him in a car capable of fighting for points consistently!!

Don't give me hope...

He deserve it, hope we see him in F1 car!

Let's not forget that Alpine is Renault. It is hard to grasp that a major manufacturer is struggling with the current regulations until you look at Mercedes. The car manufacturers arent aero experts but they are engine experts. So... McLaren ( aero experts) do well with a Mercedes engine. Alpine( and Mercedes) should do better when the regulations swing back towards favouring the motive power rather than the aero. As things currently stand, of the car manufacturers go, Ferrari is doing best and Renault are doing worst. Honda dont have a factory team and the aero performance of their chosen chassis clouds the performance of their engine. So in the longer term Mick should do better with Alpine than he did with Hass.

Good luck with that….

nooooooo now i have to be an alpine fan

We see Mick standing behind Toto in the garage at every race, I’m guessing he’s Mercs test or reserve driver so why isn’t he 1st choice to replace Hamilton?

What do you expect with the Renault engine, sure before they were monsters but now there like "bringing a spoon on a gun fight". Trash management and an idiot tp, otmar was the catalyst of Alpine's downfall.

If he gonna have tha chance to be back for sure he gonna be better

Just beacuse he's a Schumacher, he had his chances, he was thrown into the F1 circus abit too early. Would rather have other drivers like Drugovich, Doohan taking the seat.

Alpines stuggles continue and if this story is true, those struggles are set to continue for the foreseeable future.

Doesn’t matter who they put in, their car is a tractor

I prefer Jack Doohan or Felipe Drugovich to have a chance in f1

Give him a good car and he will win races.

Unfair treatment???

Alpine needs to sell to Porchse and just go from there. Now we all know a Cadillac deal is in the works but still, what about the mean time?

I think he could be realy good, but his Kinda shy personality together with his name is his problem. He need a Team where he has the time and trust to find his confidence, and thats not a struggling alpine in my opinion.

I’d love to see mick back in F1 but I wouldn’t joking Alpine. It will make him look worse than better.

Another reason to field22 cars .Andretti.Caddilac belongs in F1.

This is for Mick a biggest worstes scenario, but from this wrong step can be turning a good step, coz constant restult, can be intrested an other teams to as 2. pilot. Of course now need focus in WEC and just after F1. He coudn't get any other chance to return to the grid. Go Mick Go

Not Mick again 😞

God damn the amount of hate I see for Mick is insane. Mick was under massive amount of pressure under one of the biggest F1 frauds, Gunther, in the biggest current fraud of a team Haas.

This must be a joke…

Michael schumacher was never F3 or F2 champion. Heinz Harold Frentzen was supposed to be the wonder kid. Schumacher was quickly snapped up by a team that was owned by a T-shirt manufacturer and run by supposed rank amatures!

I mean he got smoked by KMag, what has he ever done that justifies an F1 seat? He is Logan Sargent but with a better last name

Talk about privilege.
