Schumach꧂er is currently acting as Mercedes’ third driver but his hopes of returning to the F1 grid full-time in 2024 have dwindled to the point where all hope is almost lost.

Mercedes team principal Wolff sent Schumacher’s simulator data to his old protege Vowles, who is now the Williams team principal, in an effort to help the 𒀰driver, report.

“Wolff did everythಞing he could to make Schumacher palatable to his confidant,” the report states.

“But the✅ last chance to get a comeback for 2024 at Williams has been shattered. 

“Afterജ studying the dates, Vowles finally cancelled.”

There remains uncertainty over Logan Sargeant’s stay with Willꩲiam📖s next season.

Felipe Drugovich, who is ⛎currently Aston Martin’s test driver, is the No 1 option if Williams choose to ditch Sargeant, the rep꧃ort says.

Drug♈ovich imp🌊ressed Williams more than Schumacher when he drove at Monza, when he stood in for Lance Stroll.

Hꦆe could also bring 15m Euros in sponsorship money, the report claims.

Sergeant has until his ꩵfir𒈔st home race, in Texas on October 22, to earn a stay at Williams.

Porsche reject Schumacher

Schumache𒅌r has even faced a separate blow in his hopes to land a World Sportscar Championship seat for 2024, the same report claims.

Porsche have reject🍌ed him - “you don't want a Mercedes driver, the reason is said to ha🌊ve been”.

Renault remain an option in the World Sportscar Champions🍬hip. They could offer a spot in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Schumacher is also seಌt to test with Alpine (owned by Renault) for a spot in their World Endurance Championship programme.

He could possibly combine that role with a second season as Mercedes’𓆉 third F1 driver.
