“I am really 🥂l🗹ooking forward to getting my first taste of the W16 in FP1 in Bahrain,” said Vesti.
“Being able to put all of my simulator🔥 work into practice on the track🎃 is a really exciting prospect for me.

All teams are required to provide four practice outings to rookies in 2025, up from two൩ l🎃ast year.
New-for-2025 signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Kimi Antonelli already fulfilled the requirement for Mercedes in Australia and China, but now that the Italian has completed two grands prix, he is 🐼no longer considered a rookie for this purpose.
The Sakhir circuit is seen as an ideal venue for F1 teams to bring iꦅn newcomers, as they already have a substantial amount of data from the track during pre-season testing in Fe൲bruary.
Following Bahrain, Mercedes w💧ill be required to bring in a rookie for one more practice session thꦆis season.
