Will there be a change of racing team in 2023?
Schumacher raves about Ferrari
Even though Michael Schumacher started for Mercedes at the end of his career, he remains Formula 1 fans that way: in red outfit, with a red baseball cap – in a Ferrari. This special combination is now also emphasizing son Mick. The 22-year-old could continue the era.
Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher still has the long-term goal of Ferrari in mind. “With all the history that you associate with Ferrari and Schumacher – I think it’s a very special combination and hopefully something that can be revived in the future,” said the son of record world champion and Ferrari icon Michael Schumacher in the podcast ” In the Fast Lane “.
“I know what to do to prove myself. That’s why they have (Ferrari, editor’s note) always keeping an eye on me and helped me in many different ways, “said the 22-year-old premier class newcomer. But it’s not that far yet. Only the previous week did Schumacher extend his contract with Haas, the Ferrari customer team, to the end 2022.
But then the goal of promotion to Ferrari is within reach: At the end of the coming season, Carlos Sainz junior’s contract with Scuderia will also end, according to the current status. The perfect time to let Schumacher move up? Sainz does not make it easy for him: The Spaniard convinced in his debut season at Ferrari alongside the seeded Charles Leclerc (contract until the end of 2024). Last Sunday at the Russian Grand Prix, Sainz finished third and overtook Leclerc in the World Championship standings.
Michael Schumacher moved to Maranello for the 1996 season as a two-time world champion. In the 2000 season he ended Ferrari’s 21-year waiting period for a world champion from among its own ranks. Before he left in 2006, Schumacher had won five drivers ‘and six constructors’ titles with the traditional racing team.
