168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher was seemingly overlooked for the vacant Alpine, possibly ending his F1 hopes.

The son of the legendary Michael Schumacher is cu🐠rrently in his second year without 🀅a full-time race drive.

He spent two years in Formula 1 with Haas but was ditched by the🌳n-boss Guenth🐼er Steiner who criticised the quantity of his crashes.

Schumacher became the third driver at Mer🐠ce𒁃des, where his father ended his F1 career, and this year added responsibilities with Alpine.

It was his new relationship with Alpine which might have fast tracked Schumacher’s ⭕return to F1 - but on Friday at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix, the team confirmed that rookie Jack Doohan will claim their vacant seat in 2025.

It is a substantial setback 🍎for Schumacher’s ♑aspirations to return.

He has raced this season for Alpine in the World Endurance Championship, in♔cluding at the 24 Hours ofꦰ Le Mans.

And 💙he tested their 2022 F1 car at the Paul Ricard Circuit in 𝓡the build-up to the recent British Grand Prix.

At Paul Ricard, Schumacher was ominously joi🔯ned by Doohan.

The 21-year-old Australian - also the son of 🥀a legendary racer, the motorbike champion Mick Doohan - ultimately got the nod, instead of Schumacher, from Alpine.

Alpine had previously con❀firme༺d their intention to take a close look at Schumacher as they plotted who would drive their 2025 F1 car - although he was among several options.

Carlos Sainz, the outgoing Ferrari driver who chose to sign for Williams, was also rep🧸ortedly an option.

The door has now been s💯lammed shut on Schumacher for a third season.

Vacant drives include the Mercedes which is likely to go to Kimi 🌟Antonelli, and Daniel Ricciardo’s RB which the veteran Aussie still hopes to cling onto despite the threat of Li🌠am Lawson.

Maybe Schumacher can drum u🍰p interest at Audi, who will run as Sauberꦕ next year.

The German manufacturing giant has signed Nico Hulkenberg as a Germany-based driver forꦿ their new project.

As they seek a teammate for Hul🐻kenberg, perhaps the gravitas that Schumacher still possesses could give him another shot at re-entering F1.
