Young Mercedes talent to drive in FP1 at F1 Bahrain Grand Prix
Frederik Vesti gain more experience in grand prix machinery ✤this Friday.
Frederik Vesti will drive for Me🦄rcedes in the opening practice session ♑for this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
Mercedes’ reserve and test driver Vesti will take over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s W15 for FP1 at the Bahrain International Circuit on 11 April, having🦋 already assisted the squad with simulator work at Brackley this year.
This would be the Dane’s third appearance in a grand prix weekend, having also driven in FP1 for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in 2023.
In 2025, Vesti is dovetailing his Mercedes F1 commitments with a drive in the꧒ IMSA SportsCar Championship with the factory-backed Action Express Cadillac team.
“I am really looking forward to getting my first ꦓtaste 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 forꦺ me.
“At the start of the year, I set myself the goal of maximising every chance I get behiꦆnd the wheel of an F1 car in 2025, and that is what I hope to achieve in .
, and get set for the rest of the weekend.“I am grateful to Mercedes for once again giving me this opportunity🐲.”
All teams are required to provide💧 four practice outings to rookies in 2025, up from two last year.
New-for-2025 signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Kimi Antonelli already fulfilled the൩ requirement for Mercedes in Australia and China, but now that the Italian hasཧ 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 in newcomers, as they already have a substantial amount of data from t🤡he track during pre-season testing in February.
Following Ba𝓰hrain, Mercedes will be required to bring in a rookie for one more practice 🦹session this season.
