'Mick Schumacher discovered via Instagram that Doohan is going to Alpine'

A remarkable message from the paddock at Zandvoort. Alpine announced that Jack Doohan will drive alongside Pierre Gasly for 2025. Mick Schumacher - who also has close ties with Alpine - is said to have found out about this news through Instagram. As a result, Ralf Schumacher is not happy with the French racing team.

Lack of style at Alpine according to Ralf Schumacher

"That's just not possible at all," Ralf Schumacher told Sky Sports Germany. According to the former Formula 1 driver, Alpine could have informed Mick Schumacher personally. Currently, he competes as a reserve driver for Mercedes and is still chasing a seat for 2025, while he also has a seat in one of the Alpine cars that is competing in WEC.

"At the end of the day, for my part, I am not giving up. There are still two seats open and we have to keep working and keep pushing. For us, it's just a matter of keeping pushing and keeping working. Hopefully with a good result at the end of the year," Mick Schumacher revealed. Currently, Mercedes and Sauber (Audi) still have a seat available.

Schumacher drove for Haas in 2021 and 2022. After that, he had to make way for Nico Hulkenberg. The 25-year-old German himself has stated several times that he is not yet done with Formula 1 and is still aiming for a permanent seat in the competition.
