According to rumors, Schumacher will switch to Alfa Romeo for the 2021 season. However, the team announced earlier last month that it would continue with Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen.
The 21-year-old stated that by partnering with Kimi, he would certainly have gained a lot. He said: “It would have been fantastic, but I am not criticizing the decision. Kimi is a great driver, I could have learned a lot from him, but there is a reason for everything. ”
Mick Schumacher claims that he is physically trained and mentally prepared for this weekend. He admits that it will be difficult because of the lack of consistency with the calendar. However, he knows he is in a great position to win and is looking forward to claiming the championship this season.
