Michael Schumacher's former rival says Mick will make F1
F1 News
Michael Schumacher's former F1 rival Jean Alesi says that Michael's son Mick will "definitely" make it to Formula 1 following his first Formula 2 race win last weekend in Hungary.
Mick won from reverse grid pole in the sprint race on Sunday and Alesi says that the youngster has the talent to make the grade.
Alesi's son Giuliano is also racing in F2 this year for Trident, but Jean believes Schumacher Jr will become an F1 driver one day.
He told Corriere della Sera: “He will definitely make it to Formula 1. It was not easy for him to get used to who his father is in Formula 1, but it has made him more mature.”
Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali added that Mick has managed to develop his own style, saying: “I think it took some time to take the passion given to him by Michael and express it in [Mick’s] own way."
