Mattia Binotto admits that he would like to see Ferrari protégé, Mick Schumacher is spending another season at Haas.
What was already a pretty terrible season for the American team took a marked turn for the (even) worse in Hungary when Nicholas Latifi and George Russell scored ten points for Williams.
In one fell swoop, the Grove outfit overtook Alfa Romeo, leaving Haas alone at the bottom of the table. The 2021 season was slowly becoming literally pointless.
In just under two weeks, Mick Schumacher will be driving the legendary Jordan 191 at Spa-Francorchamps, while the sport will commemorate his father’s dramatic F1 debut on the track thirty years earlier.
Unfortunately, unlike his father, it’s unlikely there will be a quick promotion to any of the big guns anytime soon, and in the meantime, Mattia Binotto admits he hopes the German youngster will opt for it at Haas to stay.
Mick’s first season is a learning one, without pressure, “he tells the Gazzetta dello Sport,” and we speak to Haas to confirm him there. “
Another option is Alfa Romeo, where at the end of the season Kimi Raikkonen is more and more likely to name the period of his long career.
“Antonio (Giovinazzi) remains our reserve driver,” says Binotto, “he is our first alternative if someone unexpectedly fails. He has shown growth every year and I hope he can stay with Alfa, he deserves it.”
“This year has been tougher for the Ferrari Driver Academy, but you have to give the guys time to grow,” he added.
