Mick Schumacher says he is glad to be making his official F1 race weekend debut in front of German spectators next Friday. “I am definitely looking forward to the Nurburgring,” Schumacher, whose father Michael is a local hero, said ahead of his Friday practice debut for Alfa Romeo. With Ferrari’s full backing, it is expected that Schumacher will then make his full race debut for the same Swiss-based team next year. Nurburgring boss Mirco Markfort says Schumacher’s Friday debut is great news for the circuit’s ticket-selling process. For F1’s 2020 round at Imola, approval has now been given for just over 13,000 spectators per day.
