Mick Schumacher is almost done with his first season in Formula 1. He already has a contract extension at Haas, yet Schumacher is also already thinking about the future. He tells Motorsport-Magazin.com that he wants to fight for the world championship in the future.

So far the son of Michael Schumacher is making a strong impression, as he easily manages to keep Nikita Mazepin behind him. The Haas driver is living his dream, but as a Formula 1 driver you always want more. He therefore dreams of ending up in a top team, but in the meantime he wants to help Haas as much as possible.

"A few drivers maybe ended up in a top team immediately and got the chance to be at the front. Lewis [Hamilton], for example. In this day and age that we're in, almost nobody starts in a top team. If you get into a team and the team maybe doesn't look strong or good, then the dream of all drivers is to help the team with the work you put in as a driver," the 22-year-old driver said.

Schumacher feels comfortable

Schumacher feels good, in part because he is getting better results than his teammate. He has been able to take some steps forward in this season and he is very happy about that.

"I don't feel like I'm missing anything yet. I feel very comfortable. I think I'm working on the right points, so I can be strong next year. This whole evolution I'm going through will hopefully make me the driver who can then race for championships in the future."
