Mick Schumacher is in the mix to driveܫ in F1 for Alpine, their team boss has admitted.

Alpine weඣre left raging last weekend in Monaco when Esteban Ocon’s lunge caused a collision with teammate Pierre Gasly.

Bruno Famin, the Alpine team principal, is reportedly conꦯsidering axing Ocon from the F1 Canadian Grand Prix as a result.

Schumacher, who 🀅represents Alpine in the World Endurance Championship already, has therefore come into the equation.

“Everythin♒g is open for 2025, everyone talks to everyone,” Famin told.

“It would be a mistake not to have Mick on the list𝓰.

"I'm very happy with Mick, he's super fast.

“But in the WEC that's not the main thing, you have to drive at a consistently high level and have a good team spꦦ⛦irit.

🏅“I'm very impressed with him because he's got it from 💖the first.

"He has adapted his attitude to tꦐhe long-distance races on the day.

“He has a very goodಌ relationship with his teammates.”

Schumacher added: "My goal and my dream is to꧟ drꦿive in Formula 1.

“It has always been tꦗhat way and it will always remain that way.

“That's why we have to make sure that th🙈e dominoes now fall in my direction and hopefully I'll end up with a 𒉰seat.

“What I can do is simply give my best performance in the WEC and also in Formu💦la 1 and continue to perform well for the team as a reserve driver and continue to have discussions."

Schumacher was axed by 𓄧Guenther Steiner, then the team principal of Haas who was critical of the quantity of crashes he experienced.

Since the start of last year, the son of Michael Schumacher has been a reserv💙e driver for Mercedes.

But am🍷id the chaos at Alpine, a new and unexpected route back onto the 2025 F1 grid has ౠopened up.
