Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, could return to Formula 1 racing in 2026 with the new American team, Cadillac.

According to reports, he held secret talks with team executives during the Miami Grand Prix.

Cadillac, backed by General Motors, will become the 11th team in F1 and plans to debut in 2026.

According to Bild, Sergio Perez is already committed as the main driver, while Mick Schumacher is one of the candidates for second place.

He has expressed his desire to return to F1 and stressed that "everything is a possibility" at this stage.

Schumacher, who currently competes in the World Endurance Championship with Alpine, has had two difficult seasons with Haas in 2021 and 2022.

After that, he served as a reserve driver for Mercedes and McLaren.

In 2025, he has decided to focus on endurance racing with Alpine, while maintaining hope for a return to F1 in 2026, reports tch.

Cadillac has expressed interest in bringing a combination of experience and youth to its team, seeing Mick Schumacher as an attractive option to complement this strategy.

He has a globally recognized name and a strong connection to Schumacher's legacy, factors that could help the team break into the American market.

If talks with Cadillac are successful, Mick Schumacher could become one of the first American team drivers in Formula 1, marking a significant return to elite motor racing.
