Mick Schumacher’s potential return to Formula 1 has taken a dramatic turn, with reports indicating that he is in serious discussions with Cadillac ahead of their 2026 F1 entry. The young German driver, son of the legendary Michael Schumacher, has emerged as a frontrunner for one of Cadillac’s coveted seats, sparking excitement and speculation within the motorsport community.
While Michael Schumacher himself has not publicly commented on his son’s negotiations, sources close to the family suggest that Mick’s move to Cadillac could be a career-defining opportunity. The American manufacturer is set to become the 11th team on the grid, and securing a seat with them would mark Mick’s official return to F1 after his departure from Haas in 2022. Representatives from General Motors and Cadillac are expected to finalize their driver lineup discussions at the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.
Mick Schumacher’s competition for the seat includes Sergio Perez, who left F1 in 2024 after a turbulent stint with Red Bull, and Colton Herta, an American driver eager to make his mark in Formula 1. With two seats available, the battle for a spot at Cadillac is heating up, and Mick’s blend of youth and experience makes him a strong contender. His presence in the paddock during the Miami Grand Prix has only fueled speculation about his future.
As the F1 world eagerly awaits Cadillac’s final decision, all eyes are on Mick Schumacher and his potential return to the grid. Will he secure a seat and continue his father’s legacy, or will another contender take the spot? One thing is certain—Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated moves in the sport’s history.
