«After four years of militancy in the Ferrari Driver Academy, the Scuderia and Mick Schumacher have mutually decided not to continue the collaboration». Thus begins the press release released by Ferrari announcing the divorce.

Having joined Ferrari in 2019 through the Maranello youth programme, Mick as an Academy driver competed in two Formula 2 seasons with the Prema Racing team, winning three victories and the 2020 title. The following year he made his Formula 1 debut with Haas, where he remained until the end of the season that has just ended, simultaneously also covering the role of reserve driver for Ferrari.

For him 43 Grands Prix disputed and 12 points conquered in the races of Austria (6th place) and Great Britain (8th place).

«Thanks to Mick from Ferrari for these four years, and many kilometres, shared and best wishes for the continuation of his career», is the greeting from Maranello.

After the announcement of the separation from Ferrari, the announcement of a new contract in Formula 1 could arrive. For him there has been talk of a role as third driver in Mercedes, a team to which his father was very close in the end of his career.
