Ferrari Formula 1 reserve driver Robert Shwartzman will replace Carlos Sainz in FP1 at Zandvoort on Friday.
As previously reported, scheduling rookie runs is harder than ever for teams this year due to sprint weekends, F2 clashes, street events and special tyre allocations.has more flexibility with Shwartzman than some teams have with their rookies as he is not currently competing in F2.
“Robert will do Zandvoort in Carlos' car, and he'll do another one, probably Abu Dhabi, in Charles' car,” said Vasseur."It was the choice of the driver, I gave them the choice to do it where they want to do it. I know that it's not an easy situation. But Carlos was [ok with] the idea. “Then you have the races with the tyre allocation a bit different, it's also so tricky to do it. It means that at the end of the day, you don't have so many options."
