Ralf Schumacher is not sure whether he would advise his nephew Mick to stay with Haas in 2022 or to risk switching to another Ferrari-related team.
There are rumors that Ferrari is looking to push its youngster up in Formula 1 by moving him to Alfa Romeo for 2022.
However, Ferrari recently commissioned a new building in Maranello dedicated to its technical program in support of the Haas customer team.
The little American outfit effectively wrote off in 2021 to focus solely on the new rules for next year and beyond.
“Is the team hoping to get a copy of Ferrari in 2022?” the experienced F1 journalist Roger Benoit wondered in view.
“It is clear that for Haas and Ferrari the full focus is on the new cars,” he added.
When asked to comment on the Schumacher rumors, Haas boss Gunther Steiner stated that Michael Schumacher’s 22-year-old son would stay.
“The silly season has only just begun,” he said.
“We still have a few things to look at, but we’re not far from confirming our drivers for 2022.”
Ralf, whose own son David won a Formula 3 framework race in Austria at the weekend, doesn’t know how to advise his nephew.
“It is far too early to make a judgment,” he told Sky Germany.
“Alfa is a little better than Haas at the moment. But the question is which team is developing and what.
“A lot will change at Haas over the next year, but Alfa has been at this level for many years, so I don’t know what my advice is at the moment.”
