A few days after the announcement of his next start in F1, the German Mick Schumacher is crowned in F2.
Michael's son won the title Sunday in Bahrain.
The 21-year-old driver only finished the last race of the season in 18th place, enough to be crowned with 14 points ahead of his last rival, Briton Callum Ilott, 10th on the Sakhir circuit.

Mick Schumacher will be promoted to the premier class next season in the American Haas team.
"The prospect of being on the grid next year makes me incredibly happy and leaves me speechless," he reacted after the announcement of his tenure in F1.
“I would like to thank Haas, Ferrari and their line of young drivers for placing their trust in me.
I also want to recognize the role of my parents and send them my love: I know that I owe them everything ”.
Next season, the German driver will be teamed up with another F1 novice, Russian Nikita Mazepin, also promoted from F2.
Both will replace the French Romain Grosjean, who suffered a serious accident will not be able to compete in the last Grand Prix of his career in Abu Dhabi in a week, and the Dane Kevin Magnussen.
