Schumacher was due to resolve his future during the summer break but Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has decided to delay talks, report Germa⛄n broadcꦦaster RTL.

That decision is because Haas believe they are Schumacher’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:only hope of remaining in F1 i𝓰n the 2023 season, so they a🐻re playing hard ball ♛in contract negotiations.

The son of the legendary Michael Schuma🐷cher is contracted until the end of this season.

Sebastian Vettel tipped Schumacher as his own replaceme🦂nt at Aston Martin, when he retires at the conclusion of 2022.

That option has since disappeared because Aston Mar𒅌tin have confirmed Fern🤡ando Alonso will move across from Alpine.

In turn, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alpine are considering Daniel Ri💃cciardo while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre 𝔉Gasly may be an unlikel🐻ier option. Ricciardo has been told by McLa🍷ren that they will replace him with Oscar Piastri next season.

This wave of movement in the 2023 🅘F1 driver market has sent shockwaves through the entire grid and Haas’ decision to delay talks with Schumacher is a direct result.

There are currently five unconfirmed seats aౠmong F1 teams for next season. Haas, AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo, Alpine and Williams each have a spot yet to be decided.

Haas don’t believe that Schumacher is a realis🍨tic target for any of their rivals, so their hand in the negotiations has never been stronger.

Schumacher is reportedly one of only four F1 d﷽rivers who earn less than £1 mil꧟lion per season.

His only other option for 2023, apart from H𒆙aas, would be as a reserve driver for Ferrari, RTL report.

Schumacher has endured an up-and-down season so far, drawing criticism for Steiner for his 𝓀amount of crashes but also scoring back-to-back points at Silverstone and in Austria.

Haa🧸s have Kevin Magnussen signed up for next year already.
