168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher was seemingly overlooked for the vacant Alpine, possibly ending his F1 hopes.

The son of the legendary Michael Schumacher is currently in his second ಞyear without a full-time race drive.

He spent two years in Form💃ula 1 with Haas but was ditched by then-boss Guenther Steiner who criticised the quantity of his crashes.

Schumacher became the third driver at Mercedes, where hꦅis f🐓ather ended his F1 career, and this year added responsibilities with Alpine.

It was his new relationship with Alpi🐓ne 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 clai🔴m their vacant seat in 2025.

It is a substantial setback for Schumacher’s aspiration💎s to return.

He has raced this season for Alpine in the World Endurance Championship, including at the 24 Ho💃urs of Le Mans.

And he tested their 2022 F1 car at the Paul Ricard Circuiꦐt in the build-up to the recent Brit🧸ish Grand Prix.

At Paul Ricard, Schumacꩲher w൲as ominously joined by Doohan.

The 21-year-old Australian - also the son of a legendary racer, the motorbike champion Mick Doohan - ultimately got t♑he nod, inste🎀ad of Schumacher, from Alpine.

Alpine🍨 had previously confirmed 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 out🔯going Ferrari driver who chose to sign for Williams, wa𝐆s also reportedly an option.

The door has now𓃲 been slammed s🐭hut 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 hope🎀s to cling onto despite the threat of L𒁃iam Lawson.

Maybe Schumacher canಞ drum up interest at Audi, who will r𒈔un as Sauber next year.

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

As they seek a teammat🐼e for Hulkenberg, perhaps the gr🙈avitas that Schumacher still possesses could give him another shot at re-entering F1.
