Mick Schumacher F1 Comeback Possible if Sargeant Doesn't Deliver at Williams

In Formula 1, it's often said that the first person you have to beat is your teammate. Logan Sargeant hasn't achieved that this year, and his seat could be up for grabs next season. Rumor has it now that Mick Schumacher is in the running to replace him at Williams.

Sargeant has thus far failed to shine in his debut year in F1. As the silly season arrives and drivers start playing musical chairs, the fate of his seat at Williams has been the topic of much speculation. Pundit Lawrence Barretto for Formula 1 notes the American may be replaced at the end of 2023, with Mick Schumacher the main driver in the running.

Schumacher would be an apt selection for Williams. He was already in talks with the team late last year, before the seat he was vying for ultimately went to Sargeant instead. He also remains sharp through his work as a reserve driver for Mercedes, where he has been praised for his efforts by teammates George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.

Williams and Mercedes retain a strong relationship, not least of all as the latter supplies engines to the Oxfordshire-based squad. Schumacher may not have been particularly impressive during his stint with Haas, but he has some experience and he is available. That might be enough for Williams to take a punt on the German.
