Nico Hulkenberg is reportedly "the favourite" to fill the undecided seat at Haas next season – leaving Mick Schumacher's Formula 1 career under threat.
The 23-year-old is coming to the end of his second season in the sport and with Haas. This year finally saw him break his point-scoring duck and put in some impressive showings, but it was also marred by some costly crashes at the start of the year.
Those mistakes may well play a part in deciding his future with the team. Guenther Steiner insisted this week that Schumacher is "still in the running" for the place alongside Kevin Magnussen, whose seat is secured for 2023.
