The Schumacher legacy

Michael Schumacher won 7 World Championships over the course of his Formula 1 career. Retired in 2012, he is and will always be a Formula 1 legend.

Mick Schumacher has a tall task ahead of him if he hopes to leave the clutches of his father’s shadow in Formula 1. He has reiterated on multiple occasions that his father has been a constant source of inspiration for him.

Nikita Mazepine to line up alongside Mick Schumacher

Initial reports suggested hinted at a split between Alfa Romeo and Haas as potential destinations for the German. The youngster’s alleged links with Alfa Romeo meant that Antonio Giovinazzi would eventually face the ax.

Now that Mick Schumacher’s future has been all but confirmed at Haas, Alfa Romeo will most likely enter their 2021 campaign with the same driver lineup.

Joining hands and going toe to toe with Mick Schumacher will be Nikita Mazepin. Much like Schumi Jr., the 21-year-old driver from Moscow will also be making his Formula 1 debut in 2021. Nikita Mazepin has been fighting for the drivers’ championship in Formula 2 driving with the Hitech Grand Prix team.

As it stands, Haas have let go of both their drivers, investing in rookie talent. Will this prove to be a good move? As Guenther Steiner mentioned, it’ll either work out or it will blow up in our faces. Either way, it’ll be a great learning experience.
