Mick Schumacher parts company with Ferrari

Mick Schumacher and Ferrari have parted ways after four years working together.

Schumacher, 23, joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2019 and progressed to Formula One two years later, driving for the Ferrari partner team Haas.

But he was dropped for next season in favour of Nico Hulkenberg and, by parting ways with Ferrari, is free to pursue other options.

A statement from Ferrari read: "Scuderia Ferrari and Mick Schumacher have mutually decided not to extend their collaboration, after working together for four years with Mick having been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

"Scuderia Ferrari thanks Mick for these four years and the many kilometres covered together, and wishes him all the best for the future."

Mercedes, another of Schumacher's father Michael's former teams, have expressed interest in signing him as a reserve driver for 2023.
