Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Maurizio Arrivabene says "the door of Maranello is always open" for seven-time champion Michael Schumacher's son Mick.
The junior Schumacher currently lies second behind Dan Ticktum in the FIA F3 Championship, having won six races with Prema, including all three at the last event at the Nurburgring.
The family connections have long made Schumacher an obvious candidate for Ferrari’s Young Driver Academy, although thus far he had remained independent, with no direct links to any F1 teams.
Arrivabene stressed that it was crucial not to put Schumacher under undue pressure at this stage of his career.
“Concerning Mick Schumacher I think the most important thing is to let him grow, without giving pressure,” he said. “The recent results are very, very good, and I wish to him a great career.
"With a name like this, that wrote historical pages of Ferrari history, the door of Maranello is always open, of course. But without burning the step.
“That is a family decision, I mean a Schumacher family decision.
"But let the guys have fun. I always repeat this – be focussed, concentrated, but in the meantime have fun, and to grow slowly, but certainly, and then we’ll see about the future.
"How can you can say ‘no’ at Maranello to a name like this?”
"When a man holds you round the throat, I don't think he has come to apologise"
