Mick Schumacher to Cadillac for 2025 F1 season?

Mick Schumacher has been on the Formula 1 sidelines since his 2022 departure from the Haas team. He has been trying to get back on the grid for sometime, but has failed to do so.

However, with Cadillac joining the pinnacle of motorsport in 2026, there have been rumors linking Schumacher to the American outfit. Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya recently shared his thoughts on the matter.

The Colombian genuinely believes that the Cadillac seats would go to Sergio Perez and Zhou Guanyu instead of Mick Schumacher.

"Mick Schumacher was speaking to everyone at Miami, so that’s why he’s in the news again. I’d be surprised if Cadillac don’t go for Sergio Perez as their number one, and I’d say Zhou Guanyu as their number two," Montoya said via Racingnews365.

The 26-year-old has managed 43 race starts so far in his Formula 1 career. In the process of doing so, he has also managed to put on board 12 career points.

Keeping in view the fierce nature of the fiercely competitive Formula 1 grid, it seems very difficult for Schumacher to find a seat at least for the 2026 season. Cadillac is the German's best bet, but the chances are extremely low.

Moreover, other than Sergio Perez and Zhou Guanyu, several other top names have also been linked with the two Cadillac seats. IndyCar's Colton Herta and the 10-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner, Valtteri Bottas (currently serving as Mercedes' reserve driver), is also believed to be in the running for the 2026 seat.
