Mick Schumacher looks set to make his Formula 1 debut for Ferrari next week at the post-Bahrain Grand Prix test, according to Motorsport.com.

There has been no official confirmation of this story just yet, but sources say that Schumacher will run for Scuderia on Tuesday at the Sakhir test, before driving for Alfa Romeo Racing the very next day.

Schumacher, son of seven-time world champion, Michael, is yet to drive a modern-day Formula One car - but did test a 1994 Benetton at Spa a couple of years ago.

It will be a busy week for the young German driver, with Schumacher set to make his Formula 2 race debut in Bahrain on the weekend as well.

After the weekend, the 20-year-old will join up with Ferrari on Monday to prepare for his first run in the SF90, that is scheduled for Tuesday.

Schumacher was signed by Ferrari to take part in its Driver Academy last winter after his Formula 3 success.
