Frederik Vesti will drive for Mercꦇedes in the openin꧃g practice session for this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

Mercedes’ reserve and test driver Vesti will take over 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell’s W15 for FP1 at the Bahrain International Circuit on 11 April, having already assisted the squad with ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsimulator work at Bra๊ckley this year.

This would be the Dane’s third appearance in a grand prix weekend, having also driven in FP1 for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in 2023.

In 2025, Vesti is dovetailing his Mercꦯedes F1 commitments with a drive in the IMSA SportsCar Ch🍒ampionship with the factory-backed Action Express Cadillac team.

“I am 𒐪really looking fo෴rward 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.

“At t♉he start of the year, I set myself the goal of maximising every chance I get behind the wheel of an F1 car in 2025, and that is what I hope to achieve in .

“I a༺m grateful to Mercedes for onc🅰e again giving me this opportunity.”

All teams are required to provide four practice outings to roo🐭kies in 2025, up from two last ❀year. 

New-for-2025 signing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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 consid♏ered a rookie for this purpose.

The Sakhir circuit is seen as an ideal venue for F1 teams to bring in newcomers, as they already have a substantial amount of data from the track during p🃏re-seaso🦂n testing in February.

Following Bahrain, Mercedes will b♏e required to bring in a rookie for one more practice session th🌱is season.
