Mick Schumacher’s F1 Fate Set to Be Sealed As Haas Plan Big Announcement in Austin, United States

Formula 1 moves to the United States for the second time this season. The most prestigious form of motorsport will have its 19th round of the 2022 F1 season in Austin, Texas. As F1 moves to North American, it is expected Mick Schumacher’s fate will be decided during the race weekend.

After a happening Japanese Grand Prix, F1 travels to the other side of the globe. As everyone is about to arrive at the home race for the Haas F1 team, they are expected to make two big announcements. One is expected to be about their second driver while another is to be about their brand-new sponsor.

According to a British journalist, Joe Saward Haas is expected to make these announcements ahead of the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas. Saward penned down in his latest blog, “The second Haas [driver], which will probably be announced in Austin, where Haas has a big event planned to reveal a new sponsor.”

Probable drivers to replace Mick Schumacher if Haas doesn’t retain the German

The future for the young German driver is still at stake, as Schumacher Jr. is yet to prove his mettle this season. Schumacher picked up 12 points after 18 races and see himself placed in P16 in the driver’s standings.

Despite everything, if the Kannapolis-based team decides to sack the 23-year-old driver, some names could come forward as potential replacements. While McLaren man Daniel Ricciardo does not look to be a name suitable for the scenario, former Alfa Romeo driver Antonio Giovinazzi could be an interesting option.

Moreover, Schumacher’s compatriot Nico Hulkenberg can also be regarded as an option as the German comes with a lot of experience. Currently, Hulkenberg is with Aston Martin as their reserve driver.
