168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher could be handed a lifeline to return to F1 due to the misfortune of Logan Sargeant.

The Williams driver crashed heavily 🦩in 🐬practice for the Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday, and his car scarily caught fire.

His front-right tyre touched the grass and he span into the barr🐟iers, wrecking his car.

Sargeant could not compete in qualifying as a result, a nightmare scenario for an under-pressure drive✃r who has already lost his F1💜 seat in 2025.

"My understanding is Williams are evaluating whether they should 🦂sub Sargeant out of the car, before the end of the season," Sky Sports' Craig Slater reꦬported.

"Pe𒁏rhaps as an almꩵost kindness to him. His form is bedraggled.

"He will🧸 start the grand prix today, Williams have repaired𝄹 the car.

"It may happen, it may not. T⛎heir options a💧re limited.

"Could Kimi Antonelli be allowed into that seat to give him F1 practice before his year at Mercedes? I understand there is zero interest fro𓆉m Mercedes in putting Antonelli into the Williams.

"It is also tricky for Williams to put Liam Lawson in there, w♕ho is part of the Red Bull programme.

"Mick Schumacher, given his contractual availabil🌃ity, is perha🗹ps the likeliest driver if Williams to decide to switch out Sargeant."

It was also speculated - by none other than Toto Wolff - that Sargeant could be racing in F1 for the final time on Sunday at Zandvoort before being pulled out ඣof the car permanently.

Merce⭕des team principal Wolff was asked if his third driver - Schumacher - could return t🔜o a full-time race seat.

"It🦹's hard for me t🤪o judge,” Wolff replied to .

“Audi is the only team that hasn't named its secoꦍnd driver yet.

“I also don't know what Willi😼ams will do after today's debacle."

Schumacher and Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson are options if Williams decide to make a chang🐭e before next week's race at Monza, reported.

Schumacher is currently in 🎀his second season out of F1, after being a💙xed by Haas at the end of 2022.

Then-team boss Guenther Steiner pointed the finger at the frequency of Schumacher’s crashes bܫefore signing two veteran dri༒vers.

The son of the legendary Michael Schumacher has remained in the pad⛎💧dock as Mercedes’ third driver.

This year, he a༺dded responsibilities with Alpine by racing for them in the World Endurance Championship.

Schumacher was behind theꦯ wheel of an Alpine at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Alpine seemingly represented his best hope of a return to F1, after their pursuit of Carlos Sainz♚ ended in failure.

But, Alpine confirmed ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix that they had picked rookie Jack🍸 Doohan to drive for them in 2025.

Doohan and Schumacher had previ🔯ousꦑly tested an Alpine on the same day - somewhat of a ‘shootout’ test between two F1 hopefuls.

No s♒ooner had Schumacher’s dream of an F1 comeback disappeared due to Alpine’s decision, than another potential pops up at Williams…

Any change would be 🐼short-lived because Will🧸iams have confirmed Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz as an exciting 2025 driver duo.
