Munich – Mick Schumacher, the son of record world champion
Michael Schumacher, is set for his first Formula One tests with
Ferrari next week, according to news reports Monday.
Internet portals autosport.com and motorsport.com said that
Schumacher is to test for Ferrari next week Tuesday and for partner
team Alfa Romeo (formerly Sauber) the next day in Bahrain.
There has been no official confirmation so far that the 20-year-old
will be part of the tests.
Schumacher is set for his Formula Two debut on the weekend on the
Sakhir circuit where F1 also holds its second season race.
The 2018 European Formula Three champion has been part of Ferrari's
young drivers academy since January. Father Michael won five of his
seven world titles with the Scuderia.
Another two-day test for young drivers who have no more than two F1
races is scheduled for after May 12 Spanish Grand Prix.
