Alpine has agreed to loan its reserve driver Paul Aron to Sauber so that the Swiss team can meet the requirements for rookie slots in the remaining Formula 1 free practice sessions this year. Aron, who finished third in last year’s Formula 2 standings, has been with Alpine since November and has been present at many F1 race weekends this season. Sauber, on the other hand, does not have a fixed reserve driver, as its academy alumni have moved on to other racing series. Alpine extended support to Sauber by allowing Aron to participate in two FP1 sessions at the British and Hungarian Grand Prix. The 21-year-old driver is highly regarded after his success in Formula 2 and Formula E, showcasing his skills and potential for the future.
