Schumacher to get two years at Haas says Binotto Mick Schumacher, Eifel GP 2020 © Alfa Romeo Mick Schumacher will get at least two years to settle in at Haas, according to Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto. "I think it will be very difficult for him at the start," the Italian said, referring to the promotion to Formula 1 of Ferrari's leading driver 'academy' member. "If you look at his previous appearances in Formula 2 and Formula 3, then you can see that he had his best season in the second year and not in the first," Binotto added.

20 December, 2020 Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto expects Mick Schumacher to have a tough Formula 1 debut with the Haas team next year before getting more up to speed in 2022. Schumacher, the son of Ferrari great and seven times F1 world champion Michael, won the Formula Two title this year and has graduated to the U.S.-owned team with close ties to Maranello.

Then we have to go over the books because the next contract should be from 2022 to 2026 with the new cars." When asked if that next deal will be with Ferrari, Vasseur answered: "You can never say that. It's like a marriage - there is not a guarantee that you will stay with the same woman forever. In a partnership, you always have to consider that there are ups and downs, so we have to ask ourselves - what is ...

“The position we are still defining,” Steiner told reporters. “For sure, it will be a very senior position, obviously. Simone was at Ferrari for a long time in a very senior position now, so he wouldn’t come without having that one, it would be no point arriving there without a senior position. “The connection to Mick is not direct.
