Mick Schumacher returns to F1? The Cadillac option opens up for the former Ferrari junior. Mick Schumacher could be on his way back to Formula 1.

The team preparing to enter F1 as the eleventh outfit has yet to confirm its drivers. There’s already a list of candidates for 2026, but in Miami, Cadillac may have held talks with Mick Schumacher to bring the German back to F1. Let’s look at the latest rumors.

At the moment, several drivers are on Cadillac’s list. From more experienced names like Bottas and Sergio Perez to younger drivers such as Drugovich, Zhou, and O’Ward—currently racing in IndyCar and part of McLaren as a reserve driver. Another IndyCar driver, Colton Herta, was also mentioned. However, a statement from a Cadillac representative has dampened Andretti’s driver’s hopes: “GM is approaching the Formula 1 project with two priorities. First, performance must be right. Only in the second phase does American identity come into play.”

In addition to these drivers, another name has entered the list of potential candidates for the seat: Mick Schumacher. The German driver raced in F1 for two years, a short career that didn’t allow him to reach high levels. The former Ferrari junior is currently racing in the WEC with the Alpine team, and just a few days before the 6 Hours of Spa, he went to Miami for the F1 event.
