Ferrari is set to make Formula 1 history during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as it prepares to field Charles and Arthur Leclerc in opening practice.
Arthur Leclerc will join his brother Charles in FP1 at the Yas Marina Circuit, marking the first time two brothers compete in a competitive session for the same F1 team. Arthur will also take part in the post-season rookie test in Abu Dhabi, sharing the Ferrari SF-24 with Antonio Fuoco. Each of the 10 F1 teams is allowed to field a rookie in at least two FP1 sessions per season. Having already fielded Oliver Bearman, Ferrari selected A. Leclerc for the Abu Dhabi rookie test since Bearman no longer meets the rookie criteria. Arthur Leclerc’s recent racing history includes a 15th place finish in the 2023 FIA Formula 2 World Championship and a victory at the 4 Hours of Imola in the 2024 European Le Mans Series with Panis Racing. His participation in Abu Dhabi will mark his second outing in FIA World Championship Ferrari machinery after impressing in the Bahrain rookie test for the FIA World Endurance Championship.
