Mick Schumacher moves to Ferrari

The son of Formula 1 record world champion Michael Schumacher will take part in the Ferrari Driver Academy's pre-season activities "starting next week." His move had been on the table for weeks ( SportNews berichtete ).

“I’m glad I’m going to wear red.” Mick Schumacher “I am incredibly pleased that Ferrari is working with me and that I will be wearing red in my near motorsport future,” said Schumacher: “This is once again a step in the right direction, and I can only benefit from the immense know-how, that is bundled there. I will do everything I can to make my dream of Formula 1 come true.” “We chose Mick because of his qualities” Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto The new Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto acknowledged the “special emotional significance” of this appointment, “but we chose Mick because of his talent and his human and professional qualities.”

This means that Schumacher can also be used in the Formula 1 test drives for the Scuderia during the upcoming season, where the teams have to use drivers who have not competed in more than two Grands Prix on two out of four days. Antonio Giovinazzi has previously driven such missions for Ferrari, but the Italian switched to Sauber this season. Schumacher, Formula 3 European champion, could also take on the role of a simulator driver. Also used in Formula 2 After his promotion to Formula 2, Schumacher will continue to sit in the cockpit for the Italian Prema team.

Mick's father Michael won five of his seven world championship titles for Ferrari between 2000 and 2004, and the name Schumacher stands like no other for the brand's successes in Formula 1. The last Ferrari world champion and the only one of the post-Schumacher era was the Finnish Kimi Raikkonen 2007.
