A two-week "forced" break for the caravan Formula 1 is over, namely the teams are heading to 12. dirko this season, which will take place this weekend in Belgium on the famous trail Spa-Francorchamps.
And on this traditional track we will witness hot happenings in the fight for the title, but also in behind the scenes. Because they are in front of the teams decisions in terms of the racing lineup of the season 2022. And here the focus is on the question: When will it be Mercedes finally revealed their plans for the 2022 season? In fact, it should already be clear that it will George Russell replaced Valtteria Bottas, which will end its fifth season at Mercedes. However, it should Lewis Hamilton with all four fighting for the survival of his Finnish teammate. It is a game of power, which the British are against To Toto Wolff can't get it. Bottas has to plan his future and this could be, as has been mentioned many times, in Hinwil. And because Wolff is a good friend Frederic Vasseur, the head of the Alfa Romeo team, was Bottas certainly already the topic of their “spontaneous” conversations in the paddock.
And now it is Gunther Steiner, team boss Haas, with the team Alfa Romeo connected another of his two racers namely Mick Schumacher. "I’m sure as much as I can, into Mick’s future. But he has a contract with Ferrari and we will have a Ferrari racer next year as well. If it's not going to be Mick anymore, fine. Ferrari has some other good racers in its academy."It simply came to our notice then Steiner explained that it was his racing lineup for 2022 fixed and that these are Schumacher and Mazepin. So. Bottas and Schumacher in the Alfa Romeo team? Just as he boldly announced on his YouTube channel Peter windsor?
For many fans Formula 1 and above all Alfa Romeo it would be a horrible scenario, because that would make their pet Kimi Raikkonen became history. With departure by Antonio Giovinazzi many of the team’s fans could survive. For Vasseur and the owners of the team in the background this will certainly not be an easy decision. Pri Haas however, it could be in case of departure Mick Schumacher found only two racers from Ferrari Academy namely Robert Schwartzman (another Russian) or Callum illot, who is currently doing work reserve racer with the Alfa Romeo team.
