'Schumacher's path to Ferrari is clear'
'Schumacher's path to Ferrari is clear'
The path for Mick Schumacher to work his way into Ferrari's Formula 1 team is clearly defined as the winds of change sweep through the Scuderia. That's the prediction of GPFans editor Matthew Scott, who joined Rock Sport Radio to discuss Schumacher's anticipated move into the Ferrari Driver Academy.
Schumacher is widely expected to pen a development deal with the Scuderia in the coming weeks, which will see him take part in both in-season tests for Ferrari.
The return of the Schumacher name to Ferrari red will naturally thrill F1 fans, with hopes that Mick can replicate some of the successes enjoyed by his father, the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher Jnr reportedly turned down another of hid father's former employers, Mercedes, in favour of Ferrari.
That decision might have seemed strange a year ago, with Ferrari having little track record of putting faith in young drivers.
However, the signing of Charles Leclerc, following an impressive rookie campaign at Sauber suggests that things are changing at Maranello.
Check out the podcast below as Matt joins Andy Alston and Adam Todd to discuss Mick's decision and the change at the top of Ferrari that have seen Mattia Binotto replace Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal.
