Mick Schumacher, the son of Ferrari legend Michael, is set to follow in his father’s footsteps with reports claiming he has signed with Ferrari.

The 19-year-old has been linked to both Ferrari and Mercedes in recent times, both teams that his father raced for.

Speaking in December following Schumacher’s victory in the European Formula 3 championship, Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff said: “He’s won the Formula 3 championship this year with Mercedes engines, which is great, but he’s not part of the Mercedes-Benz junior programme.

“The most important [thing] is to give him time. He has this incredible legacy of having a father who was the most successful racing driver of all-time.
