Ferrari has announced plans to field junior driver Dino Beganovic in the first free practice session (FP1) at the upcoming Mexico Grand Prix, according to reports. The decision means either Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc will relinquish their seat for the session to accommodate the young Swedish driver.
Beganovic, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, will gain valuable Formula 1 experience during the Friday practice session at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The team has not yet confirmed which of its two race drivers will sit out FP1.
The move follows Ferrari's continued development program for academy drivers, providing them with track time in a current-spec car during a Grand Prix weekend.
