Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto spoke in Imola about the Scuderia’s offspring, which includes Mick Schumacher. Which driver can get promoted to Formula 1 will soon be decided, as he revealed.
Ferrari is currently struggling with some worries in the GP circus, on the one hand the difference in form between the two drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, but also the comparatively weak engine from Maranello, both of which are a headache for decision-makers in the world’s oldest racing team.
With a view to the juniors, however, the Scuderia has a luxury problem, because with Mick Schumacher, Callum Ilott and Robert Shwartzman, the Scuderia has three talents who are ready for Formula 1 promotion. The son of the record world champion Michael Schumacher leads the championship in the famous anteroom of the premier class two racing weekends before the end of the season in front of Ilott. Shwartzman is in fifth place in the table after two rounds with no points in Mugello and Sochi.
A Formula 1 cockpit will probably only be available for one of the three, as Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto confirmed in Imola. “There won’t be a place for everyone, even if everyone is doing very well at the moment. They are all fully focused on the next competition and the Formula 2 season that they have to end. This is also important with a view to the missions in Abu Dhabi in the junior test and in the first free practice. “
«We will probably make our decision based on previous performances and appearances. It will play a role how they have used their potential and how they have developed, ”the engineer described. “One of them will probably get a cockpit in Formula 1 next year, we will have to find different options for the others. It’s up to us to organize it so that everyone has a chance. “
Binotto revealed: “I don’t think we will have the last Formula 2 race or the test runs in Abu Dhabi until the end of the Formula 2 season, which will take place in Bahrain on December 6th will wait before we make a choice. I think we’ll make the decision in the next few weeks. “
