Schumacher senior suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in 2013, with information about his current condition proving scarce.
His son Mick, meanwhile, signed for Haas at the start of the 2021 season but struggled to shine in his maiden F1 campaign.
The 22-year-old, who won the F2 title in 2020, teamed up with Nikita Mazepin but the duo failed to score any points in their underperforming Haas cars.
But the younger Schumacher could eventually follow in his father’s footsteps by driving for Ferrari.
Schumacher Jr has agreed to become a reserve driver for Ferrari while continuing to drive for Haas.
