We know Mick Schumacher, of course, as a former Haas driver, son of
Michael Schumacher and reserve driver for Mercedes. Meanwhile, the
young driver has been on the sidelines for another year, but we
still regularly spot him in the Mercedes garage during Grands Prix.
When his Formula 1 contract was terminated, the German started
looking for other opportunities, he candidly tells us in an
interview with Tuttomotoriweb : “Unfortunately there were no
opportunities to drive, but I have always had a very good
relationship with Mercedes and I am happy to be part of the
program.” “Is nothing for me at the moment.” But, of course, there
are other racing classes Schumacher could have his eye on. As the
son of a seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, it’s not super crazy
that he’s not eager to drive an electric car for the Formula E
championship. So he frankly admits that he doesn’t see the
potential for driving in the electric racing class: “I’ll be very
honest with you and say no.” A possible move to Formula E is
therefore something he almost completely rules out: “I love
engines, I love the smell of gasoline. I like old-school cars, the
V8, the smell, the flames, whatever. That’s what interests me. So
Formula E is nothing for me at the moment.” Still, the Mercedes
reserve driver does keep the door ajar: “Who knows what the future
holds. Maybe I’ll change my mind once I drive it.”
