Mick Schumacher has of course been tipped for Formula 1 for a long time because of his name. Now his results also look like he has a serious chance of appearing on the grid. This season we will most likely see him in action for one of the teams on Friday.
Mick Schumacher did good business in Formula 2 on Saturday afternoon. Thanks to a nice overtaking race (from twelfth to fifth place), he now takes over the lead in the championship from fellow Ferrari junior Callum Ilott. The race was won by Nikita Mazepin.
Nürburgring ideal location for debut
As a Ferrari junior, it is likely Schumacher would join Haas or Alfa Romeo next season. "I'm sure we'll see him soon," says Frederic Vasseur of Alfa Romeo with a grin, according to Auto Bild.
According to the reports, this could happen during one of the upcoming free practice sessions. One of the most logical options, according to Auto Bild, would be the Eifel Grand Prix. Not only is the Nürburgring the home circuit of the Schumacher family, it is also one of the weekends that Formula 2 will not be driven, allowing Schumacher to concentrate on Formula 2 when it runs.
