Mick Schumacher is set to be left out of a Formula 1 race seat next season after his replacement was signed by another team.
In his two seasons with the US based team, he has not done enough to convince them to keep him.
The German will return to the grid for a full season for the first time since being dropped by the French team.
He has made a number of substitute appearances for the Racing Point team.
The only hope of a race seat in F1 next year for the son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher is if AmericanLogan Sargeant fails to secure enough points in this weekend's Formula 2 finale in Abu Dhabi to secure a drive at Williams.
Sargeant will get the seat as long as he qualifies, according to Williams. He needs to finish in the top eight in order to win the title.
In races where a fair comparison can be made, Kevin Magnussen has out-qualified his team-mate, Michael, 14 times to 5.
There have been a lot of crashes.
A reserve seat at Mercedes is up for grabs. If he doesn't get a race seat, Wolff would consider taking up this option.
Wolff said that Mercedes and the family were close to one another.
Michael drove for Mercedes before graduating to F1, and his first F1 drive was paid for by the company.
He came back to F1 at the end of 2006 and spent three years with Mercedes before retiring.
Daniel Ricciardo, who is leaving McLaren after the final race in Abu Dhabi as the team have terminated his contract a year early, is also a candidate for the Mercedes reserve seat.
He is in talks with Red Bull about a similar role.
For being the longest in F1 history for a driver who has not scored a podium finish, and for taking pole position for uncompetitive Williams in Brazil in his debut season, the chance to revive a career that lasted for nine seasons is something that has been given to him.
He will be moving into a full-time race seat with the Haas F1 team in 2023.
I want to thank Gene and Gunther for trusting me and giving me the chance to do what I love the most again.
We have a lot of work to do to be able to compete with the other teams in the middle of the field.
He crashed out of the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix when he was leading Lewis Hamilton's McLaren, and potential podiums for Renault escaped him because of his own mistakes.
He achieved three fourth place finishes with the Force India team.
The verbal altercation that took place in the TV interview pen after the Hungarian Grand Prix was made famous. Magnussen put down the German who accused him of being unsporting.
The two say they have healed their relationship and no longer have disagreements.
