Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone thinks 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher could be an excellent option for a team on the grid ꦆas they look t🔯o tap into the American market.

Since the growth of F🔴1 through the Netflix documentary Drive to Survive, the sport’s popularity ha🎶s skyrocketed, particularly in America.

There are now three races stateside - Miami, Texas and Las Vegas - and F1 welcomes an 11th team from next year in Cadillacඣ.

Cadillac havও💛e yet to confirm their driver line-up for next year, with a host of names linked with the team.

Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas and Zhou🍎 🐼Guanyu are all thought to be in the frame to drive for Cadillac next year.

There’s also been talk of Cadillac🍷 wanting an Amer🎃ican driver in one of the seats, with Colton Herta a possible option.

Ecclestone, who ran F1 for over 40 year🃏s, believes Schumacher could be a good alternative to an American drꦗiver.

Speaking to F1-Insider, Ecclestone said: “If Mich𝓡ael had been at his side, Mi🧸ck would be a regular driver in Formula 1 today.

“What speaks for him: The name Schumacher has even more radiance in the USA than in Europe. Formula 1 could continu🧸e to use this na🌳me.”

Schumacher hasn’t been on the F1 grid sin💎ce th🌺e end of 2022.

Haas dropped him after two seasons, ultimately favor🐷uing Nico Hulkenberg.

Since then, Schumacher has been a Mercedes test and reserve driver while he’s competed for Alpine in the World Endurance Cham𓆉pionship.

F🎃ormer AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost has🧜 also backed Schumacher for a potential return.

“I hope it’s not too late for Mick,” Tost added.

“In Formula 1, you are quickly forgotten i🌞f you are away for too long. But ♛Mick would still have what it takes.

“With appropriate pr💝eparation, he woul🐻d be a good choice for Cadillac.”
