Scuderia Ferrari is supporting the Haas team in order to help Ferrari Driver Academy member Mick Schumacher to speed up in Formula 1, as recently confirmed by Piero Ferrari, the only living son of the great Maranello marque’s iconic founder Enzo and current vice chairman of the company.
Piero Ferrari, 76, has confirmed that the Maranello team is helping Haas develop its car for the 2022 Formula One season in order to give Mick Schumacher – the son of great Ferrari driver Michael – a the opportunity to show his skills and talent with a much more competitive car next year.
22-year-old Mick Schumacher made his Formula 1 debut this season and has been confirmed to continue with Haas in 2022, as the American team’s car is being designed in a separate building on-site at Maranello.

“He is making his way in a team that we support,” Piero Ferrari told the Italian media, referring to Ferrari academy member and Haas driver Mick Schumacher – “His team (Haas) has made the choice not to spend in 2021 so they are using a car that was already not good in 2020. But they are spending for 2022 and we at Ferrari are also helping Haas. For his second year, we hope to give Schumacher a car with which he can demonstrate his qualities.” – he explained.
At the same time Piero Ferrari admits he misses Mick’s father, the legendary seven time world champion Michael Schumacher: “I had the pleasure of having Schumacher as a guest in my home, drinking a bottle of red win together. He really enjoyed these moments of intimacy and tranquillity. He was a simple person – clear, precise, a very linear personality. I’m sorry that we talk about him today as if he is dead, because he is not. Michael is there but he cannot communicate.” – the Ferrari vice chairman concluded.
