Overview
- Schumacher announced on social media that he will not return to Alpine’s Hypercar program, closing his two-year stint in the World Endurance Championship.
- Alpine publicly thanked Schumacher for his contributions, and with Antonio Felix da Costa already signed, the team still has at least one 2026 seat to fill.
- Across 16 WEC starts with the Alpine A424, he earned three overall podiums at Fuji, Imola and Spa and recorded a top-10 at Le Mans.
- Multiple outlets report Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has a seat available and is awaiting his commitment, with a formal announcement expected, though nothing is yet confirmed.
- Schumacher previously explored a Cadillac/Jota arrangement that fell through and has said IndyCar is the closest fit for his return to single-seater racing since he cannot re-enter Formula 2.
