Why F1 keeps rejecting Mick Schumacher
Mick Schumacher has clung onto F1 by his fingertips since being dropped by Haas at the end of 2022.
But his role as Mercedes reserve driver and flirtations with landing a race seat with another team have so far come to nought – so after almost two years out and multiple rejections, does that mean it’s all over for him in F1?
Our latest video explores that question and plenty more.

Just go and race imsa and get your self a rolex and 24 hour of le mans
Because he doesn't go fast enough to need the brake.
He kept getting rejected because, unfortunately, he wasn't quite good enough. If he had been as talented as his father, every team would have wanted to sign him. He just isn't. That's not to say he's no good at all, just that he isn't quite good enough to be really competitive at the very highest level of motorsport. Neither was Bruno Senna or Nelson Piquet Junior.
In summary: he’s mid.
So many of us had high hopes for Mick, but in the end, he drove more like Corinna than like Michael … I don’t ever look for him to return to F1.
Mick Schumacher would be a good replacfor lance stroll
To be fair, he does have A LOT to live up to. I mean, his dad is one of the greatest drivers ever.
I feel bad for Mick he had a terrible teammate when he was with Haas.
He is not his his dad and people would never stop asking him how is Michael doing…that’s what what I want to know.
Cause he’s shiiiieeeeeeetttteeeee
because he is rubbish
because hes a crap driver, done spared you about 10min.
frank gluedick
Cuz he is mid. Next question
Maybe Long shot Red Bull as today’s 30 th march 2025
Because im gonna let you all know a little secret that might annoy some people, he isn't good enough, he never has been, he cheesed his way to an f2 title that if the mechachrome engine wasn't shit would've been won by schwartzman or illott, he's not a bad driver, he's actually quite good on his own merit, just not good ENOUGH for f1
Let's not pretend he got this far purely because of merit. I feel half the reason he is still around the paddock is because of his last name.
He’s useless. Thats the answer.
Mick is the player to be named later.
I honestly want to see mic in F1
If he was a great driver, he’d have a seat already, obviously he’s nothing special, except maybe to his mum and Uncle.
Money can buy everything 😂😂
Just better options
Because he kept crashing.
He’s not even good.
capable of being world champion 😆
Imagine hiring him and having Ralf and mom mouthing NOOOO
He is not the same as his Father. That's why.
Indycar!!!
Erickson just proved that having a bad F1 career doesn’t mean you can go and win big races somewhere else.
For a Schumacher to win the Indy500 would be absolutely special.
Although bro probably doesn’t wanna crash in that race😅
Cuse he sucks… People think just cuz you're the son of an F1 champion then you're going to be a champion that's not true Dale Junior was really good but he wasn't as good as his father and Kyle Petty s*** he couldn't even begin to get on the grid let alone be as good as his father
Honestly this exactly proves when Lewis Hamilton said if he had a kid he wouldn’t want him to race. Because the kid would constantly be in Lewis’s shadow and compared to him. And ultimately he’d want his kid to be his own person.
F1 keeps rejecting Mick is Because Mick didn’t get his dad’s genes, instead he got his mom’s genes.
Not good enough and accident prone seems like. When you crash three times like that its no surprise he isn't getting a seat.
It's like Bruno Senna all over again.
Without the name,would he have ever had a seat?
I don't think so. If mum wants him to race, she'll need to pony up a few mill to go along with that name.
Man, he is not good enough. Otherwise, everyone would be fighting for him. He can be the best human being ever, but the level on the current grid, but Stroll, is super high
Being rubbish makes it harder to get a drive.
Steiner was the reason he’s out, dude had talent and Steiner messed up his development. So glad that clown is outta f1
“Thanks for watching…click like and subscribe!”
Performance matters??? Ask Lance Stroll. 😆
The thing that placed high expectations on him is his Last name(Father)..
James vowles got no chin
