Mercedes team boss tips Mick Schumacher to stay in F1
May 23 - Toto Wolff says he has seen enough to predict "a career in Formula 1" for Michael Schumacher's son.
Mick Schumacher, 22, is already on the grid, and a crash-strewn Monaco weekend aside he is clearly showing the way to his Haas teammate Nikita Mazepin.
"I think a lot of Mick," Mercedes team boss Wolff told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.
"He is a very positive personality, intelligent - his parents did everything right. We should now give him the time and the calm he needs to develop.
"But from what I've seen in the first races, Mick will have a career in Formula 1," Wolff added.
Schumacher is now part of a big group of similarly-aged young talents in F1, including Max Verstappen, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris and others.
"We are at the beginning of a very interesting and exciting period in Formula 1," Wolff agrees.

a struggle for Mick , hes arrived in F1 when theres an awfull lot of young guys already embedded in top teams and theyll be there for the next 10yrs, can see him struggling to get a top seat within next 5 yrs IMO
Shrop' I'm not sure we know who will be the top teams in F1 beginning next season. At every step Mick has taken his time to develop and we might be surprised to one day see him in a McLaren next to Lando. IMO, 2022 will be a turning point for our sport. The young guns are well positioned to succeed.
Oh dunna get me wrong i hope he does get a top seat, bench mark time might be GR hes on his 3yr , interestly i read about Michael Schumacher who nearly signed for Ron for 96 and Ron was prepared to pay the big bucks but , somehow it never came off and he went to Ferrari, perhaps history will repeat itself by your reckoning
