Uncertainty about deployment Schumacher during VT1 Mugello
General
- GPblog.com
On Wednesday morning the German RTL brought out that Mick Schumacher might make his debut at Friday's practice during the Grand Prix of Tuscany. With which team was not yet clear. Alfa Romeo and Haas F1 were an option but that might not be the case.
'No Alfa Romeo and Haas F1'
The often well-informed Chris Medland says that both Alfa Romeo and Haas won't let him ride a free practice on Friday. The teams have Ferrari engines, so there is a chance that they will give the Ferrari junior with the famous surname a spot.
If what Medland says is true, only Ferrari will remain as a possible team where Schumacher can make his debut, should the German medium be well informed. The 22 year old driver would probably take over a training from Sebastian Vettel as the German will be leaving with the Italians after this year. It seems like an unusual choice but we'll wait and see.
Reports in German media saying Mick Schumacher will do FP1 in Mugello. Both Alfa Romeo and Haas say they’re not running him. IF it’s happening, that leaves only one team (I’m sceptical but don’t know any more) #F1

Update - Uncertainty about deployment Schumacher
At the moment there are contradictory reportings about the possible drive for Schumacher during FP1 on Mugello. An official announcement by the teams is not yet made.
[UPDATE] Now RTL reports that it is not happening in Mugello. He will do a F1 free practice session at some point but it is not decided yet where exactly that will be (basically the information we had before)https://t.co/vzJo2sUmvK https://t.co/XMpvevFBg1

Wie bereits berichtet, wird Mick durchaus noch dieses Jahr ein freies Training bei Alfa kriegen können – aber nicht in Mugello.

As reported by us: Good chance he will be driving an FP1 for Alfa later in the year. But not in Mugello.
