Bernie Ecclestone thinks Mick Schumacher should look beyond F1
F1's former big money man thinks Mick Schumacher won't keep his wheel at Haas. In his opinion, he should concentrate on other categories.
This is one of the last unknowns. Will Mick Schumacher keep his seat in 2023? His poor results – despite a standout performance in Austria, for example – are not suitable for his team. His numerous accidents, even if he has been more consistent lately, also don’t work in his favor.
“Helmut Marko suggested that Nico Hülkenberg would replace his fellow countryman within the American team. Bernie Ecclestone also believes that he will not keep his seat. « I don’t think he will be there. People have been disappointed with his performance, says the former owner of Brabham to RTL Germany.”
Towards other disciplines?
We don’t know if it’s because of him or the team, but it’s difficult to find someone who could put him in a winning team because he’s not a part of it at the moment.
« Maybe he just needs to forget about F1 and focus on other categories of motorsport. His name is his biggest burden, but he tries to respect it as best he can, and that’s what gets him into all this trouble. Therefore, he should forget about it [F1] and try to win in other categories.

Haas should announce in the coming days the name of Kevin Magnussen’s future teammate. Nico Hülkenberg appears to be a strong contender, especially since Aston Martin found a new test driver, Stoffel Vandoorne, in recent days.
