Mick Schumacher is currently on top of the F2 driver standings with 191 points. According to reports, he will join the Haas F1 team next season. It is reported that Haas F1 is likely to have an inexperienced drivers line up. Schumacher could team up with Nikita Mazepin to complete Haas’s 2021 drivers line up.

Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean were let off by Haas F1 last month. Currently, the pair stands without a Formula 1 contract in hand. The seats are limited and the possibilities get slimmer by the day.

According to reports, Kevin Magnussen believes Schumacher could thrive at Haas if he makes his debut with him next year. He said, “So I think he, certainly, is going to be good, whatever he brings in terms of deals with him. I’m sure just in the driving and his his ability, I think he’s going to be great for the team.”
