It has been in the air for some time now, but according to Spanish media on Friday it will be announced that Mick Schumacher Kimi Raikkonen will be the drivers of Alfa Romeo in 2021.

In 2020 Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen will be the drivers of Alfa Romeo and where the Italian started his season well, he has been increasingly pushed into the background by his team mate. Giovinazzi has the support of Ferrari, but he is no longer the only one and his chance in Formula 1 seems to be over.

The new Alfa Romeo drivers

Indeed, with Callum Ilott, Mick Schumacher and Robert Shwartzman, Ferrari has three talents in Formula 2 fighting for the championship. Schumacher has an advantage of his surname, but also shows that he can race well in F2. In addition to an opportunity in the first free practice for Alfa Romeo at the Eifel Grand Prix, there will now be an additional reward.

According to Spanish sources it will be announced on Friday that Schumacher and Raikkonen will be the drivers for Alfa Romeo in 2021. Two iconic names in motor sport linked to a unique brand like Alfa. It would therefore mean that Kimi opts for an extra year and the chance of a place in Formula 1 for Giovinazzi, Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez would be considerably reduced.
