Mick Schumacher has a “good chance” of stepping up to Formula 1 in 2021. Schumacher, the 21-year-old son of former Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher, is now the most prominent member of the Italian team’s driver development academy. Earlier, it was claimed that Schumacher would get a Friday practice outing this weekend for a Ferrari-linked team, but that was wide of the mark. “We are very happy that he is performing so well in Formula 2,” said the Italian. But I think that Mick has a good chance of possibly driving in Formula 1 next year.”. Two other Ferrari academy members – Schumacher’s F2 title rivals Callum Illot and Robert Shwartzman – are also in the running for Alfa Romeo or Haas seats for 2021.
