Discarded driver Mick Schumacher has been backed for a return to Formula 1's top table following his exit from Haas.
As someone who has himself lost a starting drive in the past, Esteban Ocon knows all too well what Schumacher—son of F1 legend Michael —is going through at present. The Frenchman spent one season as Mercedes reserve driver in 2019 after being let go by Force India, only to return with a starting spot at Renault (later rebranded as Alpine ) the following year.
A reserve driver role (possibly also with the Silver Arrows) looks like Schumacher's most plausible option to maintaining some sort of paddock presence in 2023. And it's the belief of his friend, Ocon, that the Switzerland-born star has the talents to flourish once more in F1.
