‘Fingers Crossed’: Mick Schumacher Named Top Choice for C…read more
In a strong show of support, four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has publicly endorsed Mick Schumacher as his top choice to drive for Cadillac in Formula 1, should the team gain entry into the sport. Vettel, who has long been a mentor and close friend to the son of the legendary Michael Schumacher, shared his sentiments during a recent motorsport event, saying, “Fingers crossed – I really hope Mick gets the chance. He deserves it.”
Cadillac, in partnership with Andretti Global, is awaiting final approval from Formula 1 to join the grid in a future season. While their bid has faced hurdles, including resistance from some existing teams and commercial challenges, optimism remains high. Vettel’s endorsement could help spotlight the credibility and readiness of the team, especially if it involves a driver with Schumacher’s pedigree and promise.
Mick Schumacher, currently a reserve driver for Mercedes-AMG Petronas, has been sidelined from a full-time race seat since 2022, despite showing potential during his two seasons with Haas F1 Team. His work ethic, technical feedback, and composed demeanor have earned him praise within the paddock, and Vettel believes a seat at Cadillac could be the ideal opportunity for him to make a return.
“He has the talent and the mindset,” Vettel added. “With the right environment, Mick can really shine.”
The F1 community continues to monitor the Cadillac bid closely, with many fans also hoping to see the Schumacher name back on the grid. As the sport expands globally and seeks greater representation from American manufacturers and teams, Vettel’s backing of Mick Schumacher adds another compelling dimension to Cadillac’s ambitions.
Whether or not the stars align remains to be seen—but the racing world is certainly watching, with fingers crossed.
