Son of former Formula 1 and DTM driver Ralf, Schumacher left single-seaters after 2021 in favour of a career in sportscar racing, embarking on an ambitious project in DTM with Mercedes customer Winward.
However, after two lacklustre seasons that yielded just a single top-10 result, Schumacher’s stint in Germany’s top-most category could be coming to an end, with serious question marks hanging over whether he would be returning there for a third campaign in 2024.
Mercedes-AMG customer sport manager Stefan Wendl declined to offer any information when asked if Schumacher will be present on next year’s grid, where the German manufacturer will again have a sizeable presence with the AMG GT3.
"I can't comment on that yet,” Wendl told Autosport's sister title Motorsport-Total.com. “We are completely open about it.
“David will decide for himself what the right direction is to develop yourself further. But everything is possible."
Asked what kind of programme will be suitable for Schumacher, Wendl said: “It would be best if he did everything, but of course it has to be feasible in terms of time and resources.”
However, despite a possible exit from DTM, Schumacher could remain part of the Mercedes fold next year following positive talks between the two parties at the German manufacturer’s end-of-season gala in Valencia.
