Ralf Schumacher critical of Alpine as Mick learns bad news via Instagram
Ralf Schumac♑h▨er reacts to Alpine overlooking Mick Schumacher

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher has criticised Alpine for the manner of how his nephew was let down.
Mick Schumacher was in the running for their 2025 race seat until, last week, it was confirಞmed that Jack Doohanﷺ had beaten him to it.
Mick claimed to🅠 that he discovered the disappointing news on Instagram - and not through a personal message from Alpine.
“This is no way at all,” his uncle Ralf, 🧸also a f🏅ormer F1 driver, added to Sky.
Mick Schumacher and Doohan 𝓰bothꩵ tested an Alpine F1 car in what became dubbed a ‘shootout’ for their vacant 2025 drive.
Doohan, currently Alꦿpine’s reserve driver, got the nod ahead of Schumacher who has forged a relationship with the manufacturer this year by representing them in the World Endurance Championship.
The Alpine opportun💮ity vanishing was a major setback for Mick’𝓡s hopes of returning to F1.
He has been absent from the grid for two years since losing his Haas seat, amid criticism from t🥂hen-boss Guenthe♈r Steiner for the frequency of his mistakes.
Mick is currently the third driver at Mercedes - but that didn’t help him claim the Williams seat which was lost by 𝔍Logan Sar🌱geant this week, either.
Mick was overlooked by Wilꦰliams who chose Franco Colapinto to race in the final nine rounds of this year.
The only possibility🐷 for𓃲 Mick to return to F1 in 2025 now appears to be at Sauber.
That team will evo🧜lve into Audi in 2026, and have signed Nico Hulkenberg to give them a strong Germany-based presence.
Mick - and the gravitas of his family surname, particularly in Germany where Audi are based - could have appeal for the 🌞manufacturer.
Mick told Sk﷽y Germany last week in Zandvoort that he has held talks with F1 teams "but no more than that”.
He𒈔 added: “We have to wait now, everyone takes a little time to analyse the situation well and then make the best choice in terms of the drivers.
They know what I c🙈🌳an do and what they get. Let's see.
"You could see what I can do. Internally, the teams also know wh💜at I can do - also t🦩hrough the years in the junior categories."
