Michael Schumacher's son Mick is set to make his Formula 1 debut for Ferrari test in Bahrain next month.

It is reported that the 20-year-old German will drive for Ferrari in Bahrain on April 2 and the affiliated Alfa Romeo team the next day.

The Alfa Romeo team have signed Schumacher as an academy driver in January.

Mick Schumacher was crowned European Champion at Formula 3 level with Prema last year, and will make his Formula 2 debut this weekend in Bahrain.

Michael Schumacher has won five of his record-breaking tally of world titles for Ferrari, and the vast majority of his all-time record 91 Grand Prix victories.

The 50-year-old, who retired from Formula 1 for a second time at the end of 2012, has not been seen in public as he was seriously injured during a skiing accident in December 2013.

His condition has not been revealed, as his family insist it is better to keep it confidential.
