Manama: Mick Schumacher, son of the legendary Michael Schumacher, will make his Formula 2 debut this weekend in Bahrain after being crowned Formula 3 champion last year with Prema, an Italian team allied with the Ferrari Drivers Academy with whom he joined in January. Schumacher will start the race in 10th position after clocking 1:41.583 in qualifying. He was just over a minute slower than the pole-sitter. “I am consciously putting all thoughts of the test to one side, because I am also very much looking forward to competing in my first F2 race,” said Schumacher.
