**”Mick Schumacher: Unyielding Pursuit of F1 Dream Amid Exhausting Battle”**

Mick Schumacher insists that he is "not prepared to give up" on his dream of competing in Formula 1 and remains committed to silencing his critics despite the "exhausting" struggle.

Mick Schumacher acknowledges that the battle to get back into Formula 1 is "draining," yet he maintains that he is "not willing to give up" on his aspiration.

Schumacher, whose father is the iconic seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, has been absent from Formula 1 since losing his position with Haas at the conclusion of the 2022 season, which marked his second year in grand prix racing.

The 25-year-old, who has been a reserve driver for Mercedes for the last two years, is still eager to secure a full-time position in Formula 1.

"Struggling to recover is tiring," Schumacher mentioned to The Independent.

"It's like being given a delicious cake that you can't eat while watching everyone else enjoy it. It's definitely challenging, but I understand the reason behind it."

"Honestly, who I was two years ago is completely different from who I am now. I've been dreaming of being in F1 since I was five, and I'm not ready to give up on that dream, you know?"

“There are moments when it seems like an opportunity is within reach, only for it to slip away due to unforeseen events. The past few years have been emotionally exhausting and challenging. Nevertheless, I am making efforts to recover and move forward.”

Schumacher has emerged as a potential candidate to take over Esteban Ocon's spot at Alpine next season, considering his current role driving for the French company in the World Endurance Championship.

He mentioned, "Perhaps I'll begin drafting my resume and distributing it to various contacts! It’s always been clear, my ambition is to return to the grid."

"I have demonstrated my ability to win championships in various ways. The question now is whether it aligns with someone else's timetable and strategy."

The German driver believes he can demonstrate to his Formula 1 skeptics, such as former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, that they are mistaken.

“There’s still much that remains unseen, particularly from a driving perspective,” Schumacher added.

"I realize how I could have performed better during my time at Haas and believe there's much more I can demonstrate. It all comes down to what your team needs at the moment. Do you need a driver to build the team around, someone good for marketing, or just a driver who focuses solely on racing? There are various kinds of drivers out there."

"I am extremely eager for the opportunity. My goal is to continue excelling in the WEC and demonstrating my abilities. By doing so, everyone will understand my value, and I hope to show them that not retaining me was a mistake."
