Current incumbent 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas is a leading option, while Williams super sub Franco Colapinto and F2 championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto a🐻re also believed to be in the frame.

Binotto has now confirmed that Schumacher, who has been Mercedes’ reserve ಞdriver for the past two seasons after losing his Haas seat at the end of 2022, is a late contender for the drive.

"We can afford the luxury of not rushing, since all the other teams have deಞcided their line-ups,” Binotto told Italian newspaper .

“There are two essential options: on the one hand, experience to set us on the growth path. On the other is a young, talented driver who can accompan🐓y us on the path to the top.”

Asked if Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, is on the team’s radar, ไBinotto replied: “We are definitely evaluating him.

“I met him and spoke to him. I have known him for a long time having ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbeen part of the Ferrari Driver Academy. I know his s༺trengths and advantages. He is one of the names we have in mind.”

Binotto has known Schumacher since his days as Ferrari team principal when the 25-year-old German was ☂part of the Scuderia’s young driver programme.

Sch𒈔umacher recently indicated to Sky Germany that he hopes to claim the last spot on the F1 grid for 2025.

"I'll deal with it if the time comes and Planꦏ A doesn't work,” he said. “Plan B must be in the back of your mind. I don't k♒now where it's going at the moment.”
