Mick Schumacher<\/a> gave a telling response when asked if he's enjoying racing sports cars in the World Endurance Championship.<\/p>\n

Schumacher is driving \ufefffor French manufacturer Alpine in the outright Hypercar class. In June, it will give him a chance at victory in the prestigious Le Mans 24 hour.<\/p>\n

"It's difficult to say … it's not a Formula 1<\/a> car," he told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"Le Mans has never been really a dream of mine, in that sense. I never really followed it.<\/p>\n

"There is a huge hype around it … Le Mans is a prestigious race."<\/p>\n

But having spent two seasons battling in the Haas team, Schumacher's F1 career is hanging by a thread \u2013 dropped as Mercedes reserve driver at the end of last season, the son of seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher has no formal ties to the sport in 2025.<\/p>\n

"F1 is definitely still the goal. It's obviously been a while now, but nonetheless I think there's still interest in me in some aspects," he said.<\/p>\n

"F1 has always been the dream, and it always will be the dream. Hopefully we'll be able to make that dream happen.<\/p>\n

"I'm letting the people who are in the position to have those talks for me (to do so), so I can solely focus on what I'm supposed to do, and that's drive fast."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite Alpine having representation in F1 and WEC, the teams share little more than a name. In the first WEC race of the year in Qatar, Schumacher and his teammates finished a lowly 13th, a lap down on the race-winning Ferraris.<\/p>\n

It's left Schumacher wanting.<\/p>\n

"Especially if you have driven the (racing) car in in the world \u2013 pretty much nothing will compare ever to it," he said.<\/p>\n

"But I think the racing itself is pretty fun, it's pretty challenging, more and more drivers are coming to it, so it's a good championship. I think that once the results start coming in, it'll be more fun for sure."<\/p>\n

Schumacher lost his Haas seat at the end of 2022. In his two years at the American team, he finished in the points only twice.<\/p>\n

He also suffered several massive crashes, including in back-to-back events in Saudi Arabia.\ufeff He also tore the gearbox off the car in at Monaco.<\/p>\n

But three years later, he's stronger for the experience.<\/p>\n

"I'm a lot older and a lot more confident and experienced, whatever you want to say about it," he said.<\/p>\n

"Of course I'd do a lot of things differently, but at the end of the day, my experiences and my choices at the time have led me to the person I am today.<\/p>\n

"I'm not looking back at it saying 'I wish I'd done it differently', because I've gone through these experiences for a reason. It makes me more resilient and strong for whatever is to come in the future."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
