"He worked his way through the championships in Schumi-style"

The Schumacher name returns to the F1 grid in 2021. Mick Schumacher joins Haas F1 and, together with Nikita Mazepin, replaces the old Haas set-up of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen. Ten-time GP winner Gerhard Berger sees the F1 genes of Michael Schumacher back in his son.

Schumacher won the F2 Championship in 2020 and appears to be ready to move up to the top racing class. Gerhard Berger praises the young German and has great confidence in him. Speedweek.com quotes the Tyrolean:

"Mick is a nice guy, very decent and friendly. I got to know him because he was always there during the races [from his father]. He worked himself through one championship after another in Schumi-style. I believe he has the winning Schumacher genes in him".

Berger believes in Schumacher's chances

Berger concludes: "Mick will find his way. He will become a good Formula 1 driver. We all keep our fingers crossed for him. The fact is that we all have so much respect for the Schumachers and for all the suffering that took place there".

"The only thing we can hope for Michael is that his son will be driving up front."
