Mick Schumacher can return to Formula 1 according to Kevin Magnussen
Haas will not be retaining Mick Schumacher for next season, but Kevin Magnussen believes his team-mate can make a comeback in Formula 1 in the years to come. The Danish driver is the perfect example of a multi-part career.
Mick Schumacher will not be on the grid in 2023. This announcement was received as a real shock by the German driver, who has made a lot of progress this season but has also made many mistakes. However, this departure from the sport is not viewed in the same way by his teammate. Kevin Magnussen is convinced that Mick Schumacher has the necessary qualities to make a comeback in Formula 1 in the coming years. The Danish driver believes he deserves a place on the grid.
« I like Mick and I think he deserves a place on the grid. All I can say is that I hope the best for him and I believe there is a way for him to come back to F1.

The Danish driver went through this phase and managed to return to the top discipline of motorsport twice. In 2014, he competed for a season with McLaren and made it to the podium in his first race, but he was let go at the end of the year. He then returned with Renault in 2016. After spending 4 seasons with Haas (2017 to 2020), he left the sport at the end of 2020. He made a comeback to Formula 1 with Haas in 2022, just before the first Grand Prix of the season.
« F1 is difficult, but it is also possible to come back. I did it twice. I hope he can continue to fight and try to come back on the grid. »
In 2022, Haas succeeded in being able to fight more regularly for points and Mick Schumacher did a good job, according to his teammate. The German could become a reserve driver at Mercedes for the next season. He would thus keep a foot in the world of Formula 1.
