Mick Schumacher Shifts Focus to World Endurance Championship After Formula 1 Exit

The 25-year-old racer prioritizes Alpine's long-distance racing program while leaving his F1 aspirations behind for now.

Mick Schumacher, son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, has transitioned fully to Alpine's World Endurance Championship (WEC) program after leaving Formula 1 in late 2024.
Schumacher ended his role as a Mercedes reserve driver, citing a desire to focus entirely on the competitive and sporting aspects of racing.
He enters his second WEC season with Alpine, aiming to build on a third-place finish at the 6-Hour Fuji race last year, though podiums are not his immediate goal.
Teammates and Alpine leadership praise Schumacher for his dedication, knowledge-sharing, and positive impact on team performance.
The 2025 WEC season begins in Qatar later this month, with the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans in June as a major highlight.
