Mick Schumacher: Decision in favor of Haas apparently made

Schumacher had to give up his cockpit at Haas at the end of the season. However, the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher is considered a candidate for a return. According to "Bild", Steiner has now decided in favor of Mick Schumacher. The 23-year-old is said to have prevailed against his compatriot Nico Hülkenberg. Hülkenberg had also been traded as a possible candidate for the Haas cockpit.

The official announcement of Schumacher's commitment is expected in the coming week. Then it would be clear: Mick Schumacher will get another chance in Formula 1. For the German, this would be a great success after a difficult season. With Haas, Schumacher was able to score points only twice this year. In the drivers' standings, he is currently 16th.

With Schumacher's commitment, Haas would have a German driver in its ranks again after a long time. The last German to drive for the American team was Nico Hülkenberg in 2020.
