Sebastian Vettel Endorses Mick Schumacher for Cadillac with Bold Prediction
A potential game-changer is looming in the world of Formula 1 as Sebastian Vettel throws his weight behind Mick Schumacher for a sensational comeback. The legendary driver believes that Schumacher has what it takes to not only keep up but thrive in the current F1 landscape, despite years away from the sport.
In a shocking move, Cadillac is set to enter the F1 scene in 2026, shaking up the grid with 11 teams and 22 drivers, resembling a setup not seen since 2016. With a scarcity of seats and a long list of talented drivers vying for them, the American team is becoming an appealing option regardless of their initial competitiveness.
The Cadillac team, led by super-consultant Mario Andretti, is on the hunt for two drivers for the upcoming season. While Colton Herta and Sergio Perez are in the spotlight, Mick Schumacher has emerged as a dark horse, reportedly engaging in discussions with Cadillac’s top brass during a recent meeting in Miami.
Sebastian Vettel, who currently sponsors Schumacher and has closely observed his progress, expressed his unwavering support for the young driver. Vettel confidently stated that Schumacher, now competing in the WEC program with Alpine, is more than capable of matching the pace in Formula 1 once again.
Vettel’s endorsement comes with a bold prediction: “I wish him all the best. We are in touch, and I am aware of how things went for him in F1. I am keeping my fingers crossed for him to have another chance because I believe he can absolutely keep up with the others,” Vettel shared with sport.de.
Reflecting on Schumacher’s past struggles at Haas, Vettel noted a significant transformation in the driver’s maturity and performance, especially during his current stint with Alpine in the Endurance World Championship. Vettel added, “It would be fantastic if he could get a second chance with Cadillac.”
With Vettel’s seal of approval and Cadillac’s potential entry into F1, all eyes are on Mick Schumacher as he gears up for a possible return to the pinnacle of motorsport. The stage is set for a thrilling comeback story that could reshape the landscape of Formula 1 in the coming seasons.
