Haas driver Kevin Magnussen will be forced to miss the first day of the race weekend in Brazil entirely due to illness, the official Formula 1 website reports.
He will miss the first practice, as well as sprint qualifying, which will take place on Saturday, November 2.
The 32-year-old Dane’s place will be taken by the American team’s reserve driver, Oliver Berman.

There is a possibility that Haas will decide to use Berman throughout the weekend.
Let’s remember that Oliver Berman has already played for Haas this season, replacing Kevin Magnussen in Azerbaijan. Then the 19-year-old Briton finished tenth.
In addition, Berman replaced Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz in the second round of the season in Saudi Arabia. Despite being his F1 debut, Oliver managed to finish the Grand Prix in seventh place.
