The Schumacher name is back in F1

So Michael Schumacher’s son Mick signed for the HAAS F1 team on a multi deal in early December partnering alongside Nikita Mazepin.

Mick began his career in karting in 2008 he used his mother maiden name back then as he wanted to try and limit his exposure to the press, he now believes his name is an advantage.

In 2015 he moved to formula classes for the first time racing for Van Amersfoot Racing in Formula 4 he ended the season 10th with 1 win and 2 podiums. In 2016 he switched to Prema Powerteam in another year of Formula Four, Schumacher was competing in both German and Italian championships finishing both series 2nd in the overall standings.

2017, Mick was racing in the FIA Formula 3 with Prema, with 8 victories Mick became the Formula 3 world champion in 2018. With then moving on to Formula Two. Mick done two seasons in Formula Two with Prema. He then went on to be Formula Two world champion this year.

Mick is with the Ferrari driver academy and has been with them for 2 years now, no doubt the 21 year old is going to drive for Ferrari just like his dad did. The Ferrari team boss Binotto says that Schumacher has to do at least two years at the American F1 team to settle in as his best season is always the second year after looking at the stats of his career, Binotto is also not ruling out a future in red for 21-year-old Schumacher.

Haas and Ferrari are moving closer together with their collaboration with the Ferrari designer Simone Resta to work for the small American team.

I’m looking forward to seeing Mick race, I love watching people grow within the formula’s and obviously with him being the son of Michael it’ll be interesting to see how he performs under pressure in Formula One.
