Ferrari Academy d꧙river Dino Beganovic will make his maiden Formula 1 practice appearance at next month’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

꧂Beganovic, who is racing in Formula 2 with Hitech this year, will replace🧸 Charles Leclerc in the opening practice at the Bahrain International Circuit on 11 April.

The 🏅announcement follows the Swedish driver sampling an older-spec Ferrari F1 car for the first time in a closed-door test at Barcelona in January. There, he was joined by Ferrari’s race drivers Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.

Like all teams, Ferrari is required to give young driv♊ers four FP1 outings over the course of the 2025 season, up from two last year.

Last year, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oliver Bearman and Arthur Leclerc completed mandatory FP1 running with Ferrari, while Robert Shwartzman and even 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc benefited from this rule in the past.

Beganovic first joined Ferrari’s young drivꦦer programme in 2020 following his step up 🎃to single-seater machinery.

He clinched the Formula Regional Euඣropean Championship on his second attempt in 2023 and won multiple races in Formula 3 last year en route to 🍃sixth in the championship.

He made his F2 debut in the penultimate round of 2024, replacing Juan Manuel Correa at DAMS, and score⛄✱d a podium in just his second weekend in the series in Abu Dhabi.

In 2025, he is conte💫sting the full F2 season with Hitech, where he is team൲ed up with Williams junior Luke Browning.

Beganovic’s FP1 debut in Bahrain will make him just the second Swede to drive a Ferrari F1 car in an official session after Stefan Johannson, who raced f🦩or the team in 1985-86.

Ronnie Peterson, who also hails🍸 from Sweden, represented Ferrari in endurance racing and was part of its factory team at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1970.
