Alfa Romeo F1 examining 2024 testing schedule for Pourchaire
The Sauber team, soon to be rebranded as Audi, has confirmed that Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will be retained for the 2023 season, ruling out a promotion for Formula 2 championship leader Theo Pourchaire. Pourchaire will remain as the team’s reserve driver next year. However, the team is evaluating the best racing program for Pourchaire to prepare him for a future Formula 1 drive. Additionally, they are considering running an older generation car for testing purposes to aid Pourchaire’s development. Despite not getting a race seat in 2024, Pourchaire will still have the opportunity to participate in FP1 sessions throughout the season.
