Mick Schumacher Confirms Alpine Exit as IndyCar Prospect Grows

The 26-year-old signals a return to single-seaters after a strong Indianapolis IndyCar test with his 2026 destination still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Schumacher announced on Nov. 20 that he will leave the Alpine Endurance Team at the end of the 2025 WEC season, and Alpine issued a public thank-you.
  • Multiple outlets report IndyCar as his likely next move following an October test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where he set a competitive time, though no contract has been announced.
  • He has stated he prefers focusing on single-seaters and ruled out combining an IndyCar program with another WEC campaign.
  • Across two WEC seasons with Alpine, he contested 16 races and scored three podiums, ending 2025 with 35 points in 16th place.
  • Alpine is reshaping its lineup for 2026, with António Félix da Costa signed and Paul-Loup Chatin departing, as Schumacher’s seat is expected to be filled.
