Confirmed: Mick Schumacher races with Haas F1 Team for 2021

It's been confirmed yesterday (2/12/20), Formula 2 driver Mick Schumacher will race with the Haas F1 Team, for the 2021 Formula 1 season on a multi-year deal.



Schumacher, who has spent 2020 as a reserve driver with Ferrari and driving for their Ferrari Driver Academy, while currently sits first in FIA Formula 2 Standings, is stepping up to a race seat alongside Nikita Mazepin for next season.



Mick Schumacher, son of former seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, will be the third person from the Schumacher family to race in Formula 1 after his father Michael and Uncle Ralf during 1990s and 2000s.




In my opinion, this was no big surprise this news happen, rumoured since October that Schumacher was going to get one of the seats. Mazepin will bring in money from his father's chemical company who is a billionaire, while Schumacher will more than likely helping the team getting discounts from Ferrari for using their Power Units in 2021.

Hopefully Haas team will have a stronger 2021 F1 season with its line-up complete going into 2021.
