The regulations oblige the teams to give the first two Friday practice sessions during the season to young riders – and at a press conference on Friday, the team leaders clarified their plans.
Franz Tost has confirmed that Red Bull youth member Liam Lawson will make his F1 debut at the Belgian Grand Prix with AlphaTauri.
Alpine reserve driver Oscar Piastri will give the first practice session at Spa or Monza.
Alfa Romeo has not yet made a decision on the departure of Theo Purcher. Team principal Frédéric Vasseur does not want to take Theo Purscher out on the weekends when the teams test Pirelli’s prototype tires for next season in the second practice session, and on those Grands Prix that coincide with Formula 2 races, so that the rider can focus on one thing . .
Ferrari has not yet made a decision on Robert Schwartzman’s schedule, but the Russian, who is under an Israeli license, will also get behind the wheel during Friday’s free races this year.
