Aston Martin Comments on Possible Mick Schumacher F1 Move With Nuanced Sebastian Vettel Claim

There have been a lot of reports surrounding the future of 4-time world champions and Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel. It is still unclear whether the German driver would continue racing in Formula One next season. So it was no surprise to see a few other drivers on the grid being linked to the Aston Martin seat for the 2023 season.

Interestingly, one of those drivers linked to replace Vettel is Mick Schumacher. The 4-time world champion mentors the Haas driver and is a likable character on the F1 grid. But Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack has revealed that Schumacher joining the team are rumors and they are very much hoping to retain Seb.

“We clearly have our way that we want to continue with Sebastian. We’ll see about everything else at a later date,” said the Aston Martin team principal.

Vettel had previously mentioned that he had not decided on his future in the sport. At the beginning of the 2022 season, he revealed he was focused on driving the British team up the grid.

The German driver was hopeful that he had a competitive car at the beginning of the season. So he was putting his energy into helping Aston Martin get in front of the grid rather than thinking about stopping in F1.

“I’m not thinking about that [2023]. I think I said what I meant and I still mean the same. But at this point, we will see. We start racing next weekend. The cars are different to drive, they are heavy, they are lazy, but if we are fighting for great positions and it is very close to racing and really good fun, then obviously that has an impact. We will see what happens,” said the Aston Martin driver.
