Bahrain Grand Prix: Mercedes have confirmed that test and reserve driver Fred Vesti will get behind the wheel of W16 in FP1 at this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Dane will replace George for the session in Sakhir, in line with F1 regulations which state every driver on the grid must vacate their seat for a rookie for two FP1 sessions in a season.

This will be Fred’s third rookie session, having previously driven for the team in FP1 in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in 2023.
