Michael Schumacher’s son Mick will race for Prema in Formula 2 next season.
The series feeds into Formula One, and this year’s top three finishes-George Russel, Lando Norris and Alexandr Albon have all secured seats with Grand Prix teams for 2019.
Mick Schumacher won the Formula Three European championship this year with eight wins, seven pole positions and 14 podium finishes. That title means he is already qualified to race in Formula One.
The young Schumacher will be testing with Prema in Abu Dhabi later this week. Five times world champion Lewis Hamilton said in October that he expected Schumacher to go all the way.
