For 2022, all 10 F1 teams are required to 🀅run a ‘rookie’ driver in at least two FP1ꦇ sessions during the year.

Vips is a member of Red Bull’s junior programme, currently competing in F2 with Hitech Grand Pri♎x. 

The Estonian has endured a tricky opening start t♉o the F2 campaign with just two podium finishes, leaving him eighth in the drivers🌠’ standings overall.

Vips will replace Sergio Perez in FP1 and will give him the chance to ♔impress alongside reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya🐻. 

Fellow Red Bull junior Liam Lawson - who also competes 𓆏in F2 - is expected to drive for AlphaTauri at some point in 2022.

Williams have already announced that reigning Formula E champion Nyck de 𝄹Vries will drive for the team in first practice instead of Alex Albo♛n.

De Vries is Mercedes’ reserve d𒊎river for this year and was heavily linked 🍰with a full-time switch to F1 with Williams at the end of 2021.

The Dutchman ultimately missed out on the drive at Albon’s expense, with de Vries🌄 continuing to compete 🅘in Formula E with Mercedes. 

Alfa Romeo have also༒ announced that Robert Kubica will replace Guanyu Zhou in first practice on Friday.

Given Kubica’s experience in F1, this will not count towa🥃rds Alfa Romeo’s mandatory requirement to run a rookie driver this season.

Frenchman Theo Pourchaire will like🐼ly get the call-up later in the season - he’s currently part of Sauber’s academy.
