Mick Schumacher: Already in Formula 2020 in 1?

“I think we have to wait and see how the next races go. Then we can say with certainty what will happen next year,” said the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher on Sky. But “nothing has been agreed or discussed yet”.

The 20-year-old is currently completing his first season in Formula 2 and will be competing in the premier class supporting program in Sochi this weekend. Schumacher drives there for the Italian Prema racing team and is already a member of the Ferrari junior academy.

For the first steps in Formula 1, a switch to Ferrari customer Alfa Romeo would be most likely, where the second cockpit alongside Kimi Räikkönen (Finland) for 2020 has not yet been officially assigned: The contract of teammate Antonio Giovinazzi (Italy) expires out at the end of the year.

Schumacher wants to be optimally prepared However, during his promotion from Formula 4 to Formula 3, Schumacher always spent two years in each junior class. He said again and again that he wanted to “one day be optimally prepared and switch to Formula 1.” Therefore, another year in the direct substructure of the premier class seems likely, where he will go into the penultimate race weekend of the season in eleventh place overall.

In Sochi, his cousin David Schumacher is making his Formula 3 debut. The 18-year-old, son of long-time Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher, replaces the injured Australian Alex Peroni at the Campos racing team.
