Mick Schumacher is getting closer to Formula 1 by taking the lead in the F2 Championship

Mick Schumacher took the lead in the Formula 2 championship last weekend in Mugello, and rumors that we will see the son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 next year are getting louder.

According to RaceFans.net, Schumacher is already guaranteed a seat in Formula 1, if he finishes this year’s Formula 2 championship among the top three.

As a member of Ferrari’s racing academy, Schumacher could most likely get a seat with the Alfa Romeo team, and there are also chances coming to Haas. Both teams work closely with Ferrari, and in return they have committed to bring one of the young Ferrari racers to their ranks if necessary.
