Mick Schumacher will be one of the big surprises for 2024
This season has generated a lot of expectation among Formula 1 fans, and it is that in the last few hours it has been known that Mercedes, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, have started the campaign not too well and Toto Wolff, is already preparing changes to finish in the best way.
And it is that the executive director of Mercedes, Toto Wolff has offered Mick Schumacher, son of Michael Schumacher, a main seat for the 2024 season, which has surprised the two Mercedes drivers. With the future of the Briton up in the air, Mike could be an option to replace him.
The new opportunities that the son of the former Formula 1 driver will have
However, Schumacher’s seat would not be at Mercedes, but at his subsidiary team, Williams. Apparently, the executive director of the German brand, has asked Williams to relegate Logan Sargeant from his position, to allow the son of the laureate former pilot of Formula 1 has a new opportunity.
The Swiss-born driver remains a reserve driver for Mercedes. A position that, except for surprise and the absence of Hamilton or Russell, will prevent him from competing again this season and driving the W14. The Swiss wants to be at the controls of a single-seater again and he would not look badly at signing for Williams.
Toto Wolff, is already preparing changes to improve everything at Mercedes
Toto Wolff’s decision is surprising because, as previously stated, Lewis Hamilton has not resolved his future with the German brand, and Schumacher was the one who had all the ballots to take the seat of the British. But Sargeant’s poor results make the Austrian president want to relegate him
And, perhaps, it is not only because of the bad results of the Florida driver, but because Wolff does not see Schumacher at Mercedes. Be that as it may, with the continuity of Hamilton in the German brand hanging by a thread, everyone is now wondering who Russell’s partner will be if Hamilton decides to leave.
