An F1 team will have a driver change at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with rookie Paul Aron getting his second session in the sport this weekend. Alpine agreed to swap drivers mid-season for the British GP, lending reserve driver Aron to Sauber for a FP1 session. Aron, an Estonian driver, will replace Nico Hulkenberg in the seat for the second free practice session at the Hungarian GP as part of the requirement for F1 teams to give two practice sessions to a rookie. Aron, currently a reserve driver for Alpine, assists the team at the Enstone factory and may step in the car if Gasly or Colapinto are unable to race. The 21-year-old earned his spot with Alpine after finishing third in the 2024 Formula 2 season, hoping for a full-time F1 seat as Colapinto struggles. Alpine’s tough 2025 season has them last in the standings, 15 points behind Haas.
