The 2023 season could be one of the most anticipated seasons coming up ahead. Why you may ask? There are so many drivers in the line to join different teams. With the driver market rumors ramping up, Pierre Gasly and Mick Schumacher are the new additions to it. The latest talks also revolve around Red Bull Racing’s Supremo Helmut Marko. And the F1 fans have reacted to the same on Twitter.
Ever since Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement from the sport, the F1 driver market has gone into a frenzy. With Alonso slated to leave Alpine for Aston Martin, AlphaTauri driver Gasly could be the next potential driver for the French manufacturers.

Moreover, as per reports, Red Bull’s top executive Helmut Marko has grown interested in Andretti Autosport’s star driver Colton Herta. He could be a potential candidate at Red Bull’s sister team if Gasly leaves for Alpine.
With Porsche’s inclusion, can Mick Schumacher feature in Red Bull’s sister team?
Global automotive giants Porsche are all set to enter F1 with Red Bull in 2026. Porsche, being a German company, would prefer to have more Germans on board. On top of this, Helmut Marko has also been following Mick Schumacher‘s development lately.

Now, without wasting any time, fans have reacted to this possibility.
I mean Marko said that they're watching Mick's development (as they do with basically every young driver). That one has been taken out of context quite a lot 😅

That could be because of the new German partner wants a German driver in their car. Can’t see anything wrong with that. If this is true then what happens to Checo?

This make sense mick would stay in the AT until 2024 and in 2025 he would take the spot in the main team even more that he still needs to acquire experience

Moreover, reports say Mick Schumacher, a former Ferrari junior driver, might be dropped by Haas. Talking about Colton Herta, he still doesn’t have an FIA super license required to race in F1. So, Mick Schumacher seems to be a bright prospect as of now.
If Porsche want a German driver I could actually fully see this happening

With Daniel Ricciardo leaving McLaren, Oscar Piastri possibly trying to replace him, and Alpine probably suing Piastri for the same, it’s a very critical stage in the world of F1.
