Schumacher calls for more time in Formula 1: 'Three years needed'

There is a chance that Mick Schumacher will not be seen in Formula 1 next season. Indeed, the Haas F1 driver is said to be under intense pressure. The American formation has reportedly even decided to part ways with him, but Schumacher seems confident.

Michael Schumacher's son joined the motorsport class at the beginning of last season. While he failed to score any points for the team in his first year of racing, he is firmly behind teammate Kevin Magnussen this season.

It would make Haas think about putting Nico Hulkenberg in his place. However, Schumacher himself is convinced he can succeed in Formula 1 and hopes to get another chance next season. Indeed, according to him, it often takes time for a driver to reach the required level.

"In Formula One you do need three years to become a full complete racing driver," he explained to ESPN. "So I'm taking my time but I'm also conscious about the fact I want to prove myself and show everybody what I'm able to do, as I did in Formula 3 and Formula 2. I don't see a reason why I can't do it in Formula One."
