Russian racer to feature in F1 as Ferrari share Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz stand-in

Ferrari have revealed the identity of the young driver they will use to replace their usual duo in two FP1 sessions this season.

A new rule introduced this season requires teams to allow young drivers to take part in a minimum of two sessions per year. Some have already obliged, with Williams, Red Bull and Mercedes having filled one of the slots in the first part of the season.

But over the course of the final nine races everyone will have to comply. Ferrari are yet to decide which races will see either Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz replaced for FP1, but they have at least decided which of their academy drivers will get the chance to get some F1 experience under their belt.
