Singapore: Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has said the “door at Maranello will always be open” for Michael Schumacher’s son Mick, should the German prospect follow in his father’s footsteps and progress to Formula One.

The 19-year-old’s father won five of his seven world titles with the Italian team. Mick Schumacher is currently second in the Formula Three European Championship and is being closely monitored by several F1 teams after winning six of his last 10 races.

“Concerning Mick Schumacher I think the most important thing is to let him grow, without giving pressure,” Arrivabene said on Friday. “Recent results are very, very good and I wish him a great career. With a name like this, that wrote historical pages of Ferrari history, the door of Maranello is always open.”
