2025 Haas driver Ollie Bearman will replace Kevin Magnussen at the team for the first day of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend, after Magnussen reported feeling unwell.
With the Sprint format in play in Brazil this weekend, teams are afforded just one hour of practice before competitive action begins with Friday afternoon’s Sprint Qualifying session.
But Magnussen will be forced to miss these sessions, after reporting feeling sick – with the team calling on reserve Bearman to drive in his place, before taking a view on Magnussen’s ability to compete for the rest of the weekend.
Bearman has already raced for Haas once this season, competing for the team at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as Magnussen served a one-race ban for exceeding 12 penalty points within a 12-month period.
