There was inevitably a lot of curiosity at the start of the year for the F1 debut season of Mick Schumacher. The young German – son of the legendary Michael, seven times world champion – had already managed in the course of his career to win the title of the European F3 in 2018 and the F2 in 2020. The ‘upstairs’, however, is inevitably another what, for media attention, pressure and above all level of opponents. At the wheel of the uncompetitive Haas Schumacher has never been able to fight concretely for the points, but has nevertheless highlighted his qualities. The # 47 in fact has consistently beaten his box mate, Nikita Mazepin, gaining access to Q2 in qualifying on two occasions.
The renewal of the contract obtained with the team directed by Gunther Steiner will allow him to try to continue this also in 2022 growth path, made particularly interesting by the advent of the new single-seaters. As with all young talents who land in the Circus in second tier teams, however, for Schumacher one of the main objectives is to get noticed by a top team. Interviewed by the German site Motorsport-Magazin, the Haas rider explained what steps he would like to be able to take in the near future. “It has always been a dream to get into Formula 1. So now I’m living my dream. I have the opportunity to show who I am “ declared the son of art.
“I have a chance to build my own way – added the reigning champion of Formula 2 – and then maybe hopefully find myself one day in the position where I can be in the fastest car and compete for the world championship. The most important thing is that I realized that I know why I got to where I am. And that we as a team manage to be further ahead in the future“. According to the young Schumacher, training in a team at the back of the grid is the rule for rookies in today’s F1. “TOperhaps a couple of riders were directly given the opportunity to be in a top team and to be right in front – concluded Mick – to Lewis [Hamilton], eg. But in the period in which we are, almost no one starts in a top team “.
