Mick Schumacher, son of Ferrari great and seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher, will race for Haas in Formula One next season, the US-owned team announced on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old German is leading the Formula Two championship ahead of the final round at Bahrain's Sakhir circuit this weekend.

He tweeted: “Always believed that this dream will become true! Racing for Haas F1 Team next year is an incredible feeling, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to everyone who supported me all the way!”

Michael Schumacher remains out of the public eye and under full-time medical care following a skiing accident in December 2013.
