Ferrari helps Mick Schumacher to get faster in Formula 1.
That is the word of Piero Ferrari, the only living son of the legendary founder of the great Maranello brand Enzo.
Ferrari, 76, is Ferrari’s vice chairman, and he admitted that the Italian team is helping to give Schumacher – the son of the great Ferrari driver Michael – a more competitive car in F1.
The 22-year-old Schumacher currently drives for Haas, whose 2022 car is being designed in a separate building on site in Maranello.
“He’s making his way in a team that we support,” Ferrari told Italian media, referring to Ferrari academician and Haas driver Schumacher.
“His team (Haas) made the decision not to spend in 2021 so they are using a car that was already not good in 2020,” he added.
“But they are spending for 2022 and we at Ferrari are also helping Haas. For his second year we hope to give Schumacher a car with which he can demonstrate his qualities.”
Piero Ferrari admits that he misses Mick’s father, the legendary seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
“I had the pleasure of having Schumacher at my house and drinking a bottle of red wine together. He really enjoyed these moments of intimacy and tranquility.
“He was a simple person – clear, precise, a very linear personality,” said Ferrari.
“I’m sorry we’re talking about him today like he’s dead because he’s not. Michael is there, but he can’t communicate.”
