Schumache🥃r is currently acting as Mercedes’ third driver but his hopes of returning to the F1 grid full-time in 2024 have dwindled to the point where all hope is almost lost.

Mercedes team principal Wolff sent Schumacher’s simulator data to his old pro⛄tege Vowles, who is now the Williams team principal, in an effort to help the driver, report.

“Wolff did everything he could to make Sc✅humacher palatable to his co༺nfidant,” the report states.

“But the last chance to get a comeback for 2024 at W🌱illiams has been s🐲hattered. 

“Aft🔥er studying the dateꩲs, Vowles finally cancelled.”

There remains uncertainty over Logan Sargeant’s stay with Wi♐lliams next season.

Felipe Drugovich, who is currently Aston Martin’s test driver, is the No 1 option if Williams c🧜hoose to ditch Sargeant, the report says.

Drugovich impressed Williams more than Schu▨macher when he drove at Monza, when he stood in for Lance Stroll.

He could also bring 1⛦5m Euros in sponsorship money, the report claims.

Sergeant has until his first home r💯ace, in Texas on October 22, to earn a stay at Williams.

Porsche reject Schumacher

Schumacher has even faced a separate blow in 𒁏his hopes to land a World Sportscar Championship seat for 202🐓4, the same report claims.

Porsche have rejected him - “you don't want a Mercedes driver, the rea🐼🅷son is said to have been”.

Renault remain an option in the 🉐World Sportscar Cha🉐mpionship. They could offer a spot in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Schumac♔her is also set to te൩st with Alpine (owned by Renault) for a spot in their World Endurance Championship programme.

He could possibly combine that role with a second seaso𒀰n as Mercedes’ third F1 driver.
