Holding a lot of promise and delivering performances that are being taken note of, Mick Schumacher is still waiting on his contract extension with Haas. As that situation stays uncertain, there are plenty of other options for the German driver.

The American team has been vocal about considering others to partner up with Kevin Magnussen for the season of 2023. If we take a look back, Schumacher has consistently been improving this season. In 2022, he even got his first points and led the race for a brief period at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Having said that, Haas hasn’t ruled out Schumacher‘s extension for the next season. Although, they aren’t transparent as to what plans they hold for the young German going forward. To make things more interesting, Williams, on the other hand, has been considering Mick to take their wheel next season.

Aside from Haas, Williams currently is the only team looking for a driver to replace Nicholas Latifi. Currently, Williams academy driver, Logan Sargeant, is also on the cards to make it to the F1 team. However, the super license still remains an issue for the rising star.

In the current scenario, it seems Schumacher is at the top of the list for Williams. This was confirmed as Team Principal Jost Capito told Sky Sports Germany that they are considering the German lad.

“The Mick is very fast and a good guy. He should be on every list of the teams that still have a seat,” Capito said. [Translated using Google]

Aside from the viable options for the German, Audi may also be a possible long shot for him.
