Sportsmail understands Hass boss Gunther Steiner has already decided that Schumacher, the 23-year-old son of legendary seven-time world champion Michael, is surplus to requirements.

Haas have instead installed Nico Hulkenberg, Schumacher's 35-year-old compatriot, as their No 1 target after he impressed as a Covid super-sub, scoring in two of his four appearances for Racing Point/Aston Martin when he filled in for corona-stricken drivers.

Hulkenberg brings the experience of 181 starts mostly racked up before he left Renault in 2019. He also enjoys a good relationship with Steiner. As for Schumacher, he has scored just twice - in Britain and Austria this year after a crash-strewn early season - since making his Formula One debut in 2021.

Nico Hulkenberg close to replacing Mick Schumacher at Haas

Reports linking Nico Hulkenberg to the currently vacant Haas seat next year have strengthened in recent days. Mick Schumacher is out of contract at the end of the year as it stands. The German struggled to put points on the board in the opening nine rounds, and crashes in Jeddah and Monaco did not help with that.

His Italian boss seemed particularly disgruntled after the latter, but the 23-year-old has found his feet since then. Schumacher deserved points at the Canadian Grand Prix before a reliability failure put pay to his chances, but he would manage his first championship points in Silverstone two weeks later.

Nico Hulkenberg is said to be firmly in the mix for the vacant Haas seat next year, with him the potential replacement for Mick Schumacher.

Haas have one drive available for 2023 as things stand, with Kevin Magnussen already committed to another year after an impressive return to Formula 1 this season.

Indeed, it’s Mick Schumacher that is currently on the other side of the garage but the German’s future with the team and even in terms of on the grid is still in doubt, with several other names being linked with replacing him at Haas.

Hulkenberg closes on Haas deal
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

Gene Haas’ dislike for having rookies driving for him is playing right into Nico Hulkenberg’s hands, according to Team Haas insiders. Haas re-hired Kevin Magnussen and the Dane’s results against Mick Schumacher, especially at the start of the season, reinforced his conviction that he’s much better off working with veterans.

With Mick Schumacher on his way out of the Ferrari Driver Academy and unsure if he wants to remain with Haas, feeling the team is now biased towards Magnussen and resenting Gunther Steiner’s public criticism, Haas told the Austro-Italian he wants a veteran alongside Magnussen and has set his sight on Nico Hulkenberg…

Mick Schumacher would be the perfect driver to replace Nicholas Latifi at Williams if he leaves Haas and cuts ties with Ferrari's junior programme at the end of this year, according to ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok.

"He’s come on a bit, at the start of the year he was being beaten by Kevin Magnussen, but in recent races he’s stepped up a notch," Chandhok exclusively told Express Sport when quizzed on what the future may hold for Schumacher.

"At Zandvoort his qualifying was really good. I wonder if a team like Williams for example, if they are looking to replace Nicholas Latifi, then he could be a good fit there. He’s got a couple years of experience and they’ve got Alex Albon there, who is a good lead driver.”

Haas have confirmed they have brought in Mark Slade to partner Kevin Magnussen as his full-time engineer from the Singapore Grand Prix after a lengthy search.

Slade, who had worked at McLaren alongside Kimi Raikkonen, had most recently worked at ‘Team Enstone’ under their Lotus, Renault and Alpine guises for a decade until leaving at the end of last season, and has now taken on the role of guiding Magnussen through his race weekends with Haas.

Magnussen’s former engineer Ed Regan had been moved into an office role after confirming he will be leaving the team towards the end of the season, with Dominic Haines having taken on the role on an interim basis while Haas’ recruitment process took place, advising the Dane at Spa, Zandvoort and Monza.
