Mick S🧜chumacher ha🅷s been “lobbying hard” to seal an F1 return with the new Cadillac team, it has been claimed. 

The son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael has been seeking a way back onto the F1 grid after losing his sea▨t at Haas at the end of the 2022 season.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Schumacher spent the following two years as 🧸Mercedes’ reserve driver before joining Alpine’s World Endurance Championship s꧃quad.

Cadillac’s arrival as the 11th team has opened up two more spots on the grid and given Schumacher renewed hope of returning to F1.

According to F1.com, Schumacher ha𒁏s been “lobbying hard to find a way into the Cadillac family for 2026”.

F1.com names Schumacher among the list of drivers under consideration at Cadillac, albeit a driver who is “further dow♑n the pecking order”.

Experienced options Sergio Pere๊z and Valtteri Bottas are understood to be the frontrunners, with the likes of Schumacher, Zhou Guanyu and Felipe Drugovich also believed to be on the list of 𝔉potential candidates.

Schumacher scored 12 points across 44 races for American outfit Haas between🌌 the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Both the German’s points finishes came in back-to-back races 𓂃in Great Britain and Austria in 2022.

Schumacher’s best ꦕF1 result is sixth place, which he achieve🤪d at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Have Cadillac changed plans?

Cadillac originally held a desire to field an American driver alongside a♉ more experienced🎃 grand prix driver, though this scenario is reportedly “becoming less likely for next year”.

Experience is now viewed as being “key” for Cadillac who will be led♓ by team principal Graeme L🉐owdon.

“That's why Perez and Bottas are under such serious consideration at C💮adillac and are the frontrunners – but is also why there are a few others still in the mix,” reports.

The report concludes that Cadillac are not in a rush to sign drivers but are keen to have at least one driver signed “before the end🎐 of the summer” to help with car development.

As a result, talks with drivers are expected to “accelerate in the coming weeks as they zero in on their debut lin𒁃e-up.”
