Sky Germany say that, after mon🍎ths of doubts that Schumacher would be retained, he is now negotiating a new deal with his team for the first time.

The son of the legend 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher will see his current contract with 𓄧Haas expire at the end of this season.

Team principal Guenther Steiner has openly discussed alternatives leading to major doubt that Schumacher would remain in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen i✤s already signed up for next season by Haas but the team were seriously considering Nico Hulkenberg, who is not on the grid this season, as a replacement for Schumacher.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo, who will lไeave McLaren at the 🦂end of 2022, was also publicly discussed by Steiner although it has become clear that he isn’t a realistic option.

Ricciardo is the joint-fifth highest paid in the list of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 driver salaries for the 2022 season while Haas’ two drivers are among the lowest, creating a poಞtential problem.

Haas could therefore decide to keep faith in Schumacher - they opened discussions over a new contract during the F1 Singapore Gra🅘nd Prix weekend, according to Sky Germany.

Schumacher’s alternative optio🌃ns were slim. Current vacancies for next year’s grid are with Alpine (who are not considering him) and Williams (who may have b♒een a possibility).

Schumacher is 16th in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 standings ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
