Title: Marko Questions Sauber’s Decision to Keep Bottas Over Schumacher

Helmut Marko, a key figure in Formula 1, has expressed bewilderment over the potential decision of the Sauber team to retain Valtteri Bottas for the 2025 season instead of giving an opportunity to Mick Schumacher.

With one vacant spot remaining for the 2025 season at Sauber, the team recently confirmed the signing of Nico Hülkenberg for next year as they prepare for a full transition to Audi in 2026. The identity of Hülkenberg’s future teammate remains unknown, with current options including Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.

While Bottas is a strong contender for the position, competition arises from other potential candidates. Sauber is weighing the candidacy of Formula 2 driver Gabriel Boroleto, and Williams is pursuing the loan addition of Franco Colapinto for the upcoming season.

Despite the pool of contenders, one name notably absent from the discussion is Mick Schumacher. The former Haas driver, currently a reserve for Mercedes, is eager to return to the grid. Marko advocates for Schumacher to be considered by Sauber for a seat in the upcoming season.

Marko provided insights on the scenario, questioning the performance prospects of Audi in the upcoming season and suggesting that a move for Schumacher could revitalize his Formula 1 career.
