Mick Schumacher will make his debut with the Haas F1 team in 2021. However, it could have been different for the F2 champion as he allegedly switched to Alfa Romeo, but it didn’t happen.
However, there is a real reason Mick isn’t coming to Alfa Romeo. That’s because the team boss wanted to stick to his current driver line-up for the new season. When he kept his trust in Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi for the new year.
Martin Brundle, former F1 driver who is now an expert, believes he knows why Schumacher was never chosen to make his debut alongside Raikkonen. Instead, Nikita Mazepin’s 21-year-old team-mate will be in Haas.

Mick Schumacher was the obvious candidate, says Brundle
On the Sky Sports F1 YouTube channel, Brundle said: “I don’t understand that Ferrari can place these drivers for better or for worse. As you wish for Haas and Sauber Alfa Romeo. “
He added: “My understanding is that the boss of Alfa wanted to keep his two drivers because you are right. The obvious place Mick Schumacher could be deployed was next to Kimi Raikkonen, and then they probably weren’t able to do that I would guess. “
Step onto the bars like his father
Mick Schumacher is bringing the iconic name back to F1, hoping he can repeat what his father did years ago. Schumacher has an immense talent, he has proven that by winning the F2 World Championship he can bring this mentality into F1 too.
The rookie will begin his F1 journey with the American team in 2021. The German driver will mate with his rival from F2, Nikita Mazepin, for the coming year. The two rookie drivers hope to bring the team forward in their first season.
The first time Schumacher is back on track in the F1 world is the Bahrain Grand Prix. He may not drive for Alfa Romeo but is determined to score some points with the Haas team. Where should the German have gone for his debut season?
