With no official confirmation, there’s talk in the paddocks that Schumacher’s services will not be retained by Haas for 2023. The young German spent two years in the premier class with the US-based team, but there might not be a third. Despite improvements in the last few races, Haas will possibly not renew Schumacher, which leaves him with two options.

Alpine and Williams are possible destinations with Esteban Ocon wanting the German to be his next teammate. However, despite the shuffle, there’s another piece of news that is disappointing in terms of legacy.
