168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc are not set to be in action on the third and final day of Ferrari’s private F1 test at Barcelona.

Hamilton and Leclerc will step aside after two days of sharing driving duties i𝕴n a 20ℱ23 car to enable Ferrari to evaluate some of their reserve driver options on Thursday.

This was planned before Hamilton crashed his Ferrari on Wednesday, scuppering the𓃲 team's testing programme for the day.

Ferrari booked out the Spanish Grand Pri𝓡x venue fo🌟r three days this week to help Hamilton continue his preparations for the 2025 F1 season alongside new teammate Leclerc.

Hamilton has had a further opportunit🍷y to learn Ferrari’s procedures and establish a working relationship with new race engineer Riccardo Adami in a behind closed doors test which falls under the Testin𝐆g of Previous Cars (TPC).

The sev𒁏en-time world champion drove in the afternoon on Tuesday and has been🍎 back behind the wheel of Ferrari’s SF-23 challenger on Wednesday morning, a session which ended early due to a crash.

However, Thursday is set to provide other drivers from Ferrari’s pool with a chance to get some🧜 F1 mileage under their belts.

Ex-Sauber driver Antonio Giovinazzi, who has held a reserve role with Ferrari since 2⭕017, is set to get some running alongside Dino Beganov𒐪ic.

21-year-ol🔜꧃d Beganovic is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy who will contest his first full season in Formula 2 with Hitech in 2025.

The day will not only provide Beganovic with some important time to familiarise himself with F1 machinery, but also enable him to complete the mileage he needsꦐ to qualify for a Super Licence.

Ferrari💟 are yet to officially confirm their reserve driver options for 2025.

Oliver Bearman carried out the role in 2024 and substituted for Carlos Sainz in Saudi Arabia, but Ferrari need alternatives after the Briton secured 𝔍a full-time seat with Haas forꦫ the upcoming campaign.

While Giovinazzi has always been a possible fꦐall-back for Ferrari, Beganovic could emerge as another candidate for the Scuderia.

Beganovic is also likely to be handed some FP1 outings this year to fulfil Ferrari’s man💃datory young driver quota.

Zhou Guanyu has also been linked with 🦂th🎉e role after losing his Sauber seat.

Meanwhile, Hamilton and Leclerc will get further running at Barcelona in a Pirelli 2026 tyre test alongsi❀de McLaren next Tuesday and Wednesday (4-5 February).
