Mick Schumacher in talks with Haas to extend his stay for F1 2023 season
Sky Germany say that, after months of doubts that Schumacher would be retained, he is now negotiating a new deal with his team for theꩲ first time.
The son of the legend 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher will see his current contract wi🍎th Haas expire at the end of this season.
Team principal Guenther Steiner has openly discussed alternatives leading to major doubt that Schumacher would remain in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen is already signed up for next season by Haas but the team w𓆉ere seriously considering Nico Hulkenberg, who is not on ꧅the grid this season, as a replacement for Schumacher.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo, who will leave McLaren at the end of 2022, was also publicly discussed by Steiner although it 🍰has become clear that he isn’t a realistic option.
Ricciardo is the joint-fifth highest paid in the list of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 driver salaries for the 2022 season while Haas’ two drivers are among the lowest, crea💞ting a po𒐪tential problem.
Haas could therefore decide to keep faith in Schumacher - they📖 opened discussions over a new contract during the F1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend, according to Sky Germany.
Schumacher’s alternative options were slim. Current vacancies fo🤡r next year’s grid are with Alpine (who are not c💞onsidering him) and Williams (who may have been a possibility).
Schumacher is 16th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
