Mick Schumacher joined the Ferrari Academy in January 2019 after winning the European Formula 3 title and with the support of the Maranello team’s youth program he managed to win the Formula 2 championship in the 2020. The result allowed him to have the opportunity of driving in Formula One, as he was chosen by Haas to make his debut in 2021. The young German driver was aware of entering the top category of motorsport from the least performing team on the grid and therefore wisely took this season as a learning stage in view of better times. There was no lack of setbacks, such as the battles on the track with the uncomfortable teammate Nikita Mazepin, but also moments of glory, such as the Budapest race finished in 12th place and in which he distinguished himself for a strenuous defense against Max Verstappen, even at the wheel of a definitely damaged Red Bull.

The young Schumacher has been confirmed by Haas for the 2022 Formula One season, when he hopes to put to good use – hopefully in the points – the lessons learned in this first season in Formula 1. Laurent Mekies, Ferrari racing director, also congratulated the driver of the Ferrari Academy from Maranello: “In his debut season in Formula 1 Mick is confirming those qualities and values that have distinguished him throughout his still young career. Speed, determination, commitment and desire to learn: these are some of the characteristics that have highlighted him on his journey within our Academy and that he has also begun to demonstrate with Haas. We are very confident that his progress will continue even stronger in a team that shares his ambitions.” – Laurent Mekies concluded.
