Haas have announced Oliver Bearman will stand-in for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen at next weekend’s Azerbaijan𒁃 G♔rand Prix as the Dane serves a one-race ban.

Magnussen picked up a one-race suspensio✃n after accruing 12 penalty points on his licence for various incidents over the past 🌞12 months.

It means he will sit out next weekend in Baku.

This has handed Bearman his second F1 outing of the year having deputised for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Bearman will race for Haas full-time in 2025 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon, so next weekend will provide him with useful experience and a true test of how 🔯competitive he could be next year.

Speaking of the news, Bearman said: “It’s definitely more of a challenge stepping in to race as a reserve driver, with limited prep-time and so on, but I’m in the fortunate position of having done it earlier in the year with Scud⛎eria Ferrari, so I can at least call on that experienc⭕e.

“I’ve also had four FP1 sessio🌊ns with Money✅Gram Haas F1 Team in the VF-24 already this season, so undoubtedly that will also prove to be valuable in tackling the full race weekend in Baku.

“The team is in good form at the moment and I’ll do my best to be prepared with the time we have a൩vailable. The aim is to get out there and have a solid weekend in Azerbaijan.”

Team boss Ayao Komatsu a🗹dded: “I’m excited that Ollie wil꧅l be driving the VF-24 alongside Nico in Baku.

“He’s already shown great promise in his FP1 outings and post-season test, and he performed very well when he drove for Scuderia Ferrari in Saud😼i Arabia, picking up points in the process.

“This is another excellent opportunity for both Ollie and the team to work together, this time throughout an entire race weeken🐼d, and he couldn’t ask for better teammate than Nico to provide him with a reference.”

Bearman starred on his F1 debut for Ferrari iꦫn Saudi Arabia, finishing ꦦseventh.
