168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher could be handed a lifeline to return to F1 due to the misfortune of Logan Sargeant.

The Williams driver crashed heavily in practice for the Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday, and his car s𒅌carily caught fire.

His front-right 🅘tyre touched the grass and he span 🔯into the barriers, wrecking his car.

Sargeant could not compete in qualifying as a result, a nightmare scenario for an under-pressure driver wh🅘o has already lost his F1 seat in 2025.

"My understanding is Wꦕilliams are evaluating whether they should sub Sargeant out of the car, before the end of the season," Sky Sports' Craig Slater rജeported.

"Perhaps as an almo꧙st kindness to him. H🥀is form is bedraggled.

"He will start the graꦏnd prix today, Williams have repaired the car.

"It may ha🐭ppen, it may not. Theꦍir options are limited.

"Could Kimi 🐼Antonelliಌ be allowed into that seat to give him F1 practice before his year at Mercedes? I understand there is zero interest from Mercedes in putting Antonelli into the Williams.

"It is alsoဣ tricky for Williams to put Liam Lawson in there, who is part of the Red Bull programme.

"Mick Schumach🦋🙈er, given his contractual availability, is perhaps the likeliest driver if Williams to decide to switch out Sargeant."

It was also speculated - by none other than Toto Wolff - that Sargeant could be racing in F1 for the final time on Sunday at Zandvoort befor𓄧e being pulled out of the car permanently.

Mercedes team principal🅰 Wolff was asked if his third driver - Schumacher - could return to a full-time race seat.

"It's 🌞hard for me to juღdge,” Wolff replied to .

“Audi is🌠 the only team that hasn't named its second driver yet.

“I also don't know what Williams will do after todꦰay's debacle."

Schumacher and Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson are options if Williams decide to make a change before next week's race at Monza, reported🍎.

Schumacher is currently in his second se🌠ason out of F1, after beꦚing axed by Haas at the end of 2022.

Then-team boss Guenther Steiner pointed the finger at the frequency of Schumacher’s c🥂💎rashes before signing two veteran drivers.

The son of the legendary Michael ♛Schumacher has remained in the paddock as Mercedes’ third driver.

This year, he added responsibilities with Alpine by racin𝕴g for them in the World Endurance Championship.

Schumacher was behind the wheel of an Alpine🎉 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Alpine seemingly represent🥃ed his best hope of a return to F1, after their pursuit of Carlos Sainz🅰 ended in failure.

But, Alpine confir✱med ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix that they had picked rookie Jack 🌼Doohan to drive for them in 2025.

Doohan and💦 Schumacher had previously tested an Alpine on th𒉰e same day - somewhat of a ‘shootout’ test between two F1 hopefuls.

No sooner had Schumacher’s dream of an F1 comeback disappeared due to Alpine’s deꦓcision, than another potential pops up at Will🧔iams…

Any change wou🌊ld be short-lived because Williams hꦚave confirmed Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz as an exciting 2025 driver duo.
