Soon there will be no more space: the next F1 cockpit captured, but not with Schumacher

While Mick Schumacher continues to fight for his future, free cockpits in Formula 1 are becoming less and less. Alfa Romeo have now confirmed Chinese Zhou Guanyue as the driver for the coming season along with Valtteri Bottas (Finland). This means there are only three places left in the Premier Class for the coming season. For Schumacher, however, only an extension at Haas or a change at Williams appears to be a realistic option.

• “I want to achieve more in this sport and with the team, and the hard work we’ve put in since the start of the year is the first step in the direction we want to be next season,” Zhou said. : “I look forward to the next chapter of our history together.”
• Haas team boss Gunther Steiner is playing for time when deciding on Schumacher. Whether the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher is allowed to stay with the US racing team depends on the Italian’s “gut feeling”, as he said on RTL: the prospect is “fifty-fifty”. Williams recently announced her split from Nicholas Latifi (Canada) at the end of the season.
