MICHAEL Schumacher’s son, Mick Schumacher, will drive for US Formula 1 team Haas from 2021 following an announcement on Wednesday, December 2.
It had been the cause of speculation for a long time, but now F1 fans will be able to watch the son of a motor racing legend take to the track and battle with British superstar Lewis Hamilton.
The 21-year-old, whose father was a seven-time World Champion, shared his delight on Twitter: “Always believed that this dream will become true! Racing for Haas F1 Team next year is an incredible feeling, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to everyone who supported me all the way!”
