Mercedes prioritizing Ocon over Schumacher
Mercedes will priorities attempts to get Estban Ocon back into Formula 1 for the 2010 season ahead of a potential swoop for European F3 Champion Mick Schumacher. It has been recently reported that Mick would favour a move into Ferrari's would favour a move into Ferrari's junior programme ahead of Mercedes.
He might have taken a few seasons to assert himself in the minor leagues, but when he did Mick Schumacher shone brightly to claim the 2018 FIA Formula 3 Championship with a dominant performance during the latter half of the season and signaling his arrival to the world
Following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Michael Schumacher, into Formula 1 is starting to look increasingly likely for the 19-year-old German. From the sidelines, it is striking how much the kid resembles his father, his gestures and mannerisms; even his English conjures up memories of the sport's most successful driver.
This spats season, eight wins in twelve races between the rounds at Spa-Franco champs and Red Bull Ring cemented Schumacher junior's claim to the title. His success and emergence as a true talent to watch for the future has Ferrari ready to roll out the red carpet, Mercedes salivating and Red Bull claiming disinterest.
Schumacher's reported decision may be somewhat influenced by Ocan's 2019 plight, put into context against Leclerc's graduation to Ferrari.
