Fittipaldi aiming to retain Haas F1 test role alongside IndyCar drive
Pietro Fittipaldi plans to prioritize his IndyCar program with RLL Racing next year, but he still wants to maintain his links with Haas F1 team. With the IndyCar season ending in September, he could potentially be available for the final seven races of the F1 calendar. Haas may also consider having Ferrari junior driver Oliver Bearman as their reserve driver. The team is discussing the situation and considering the testing workload as well. Fittipaldi expressed his desire to continue with Haas and highlighted the positive relationship they have had over the years. He believes that being a reserve driver and contributing to the car’s development is beneficial for both him and the team. Fittipaldi sees the latter part of the F1 season as the best opportunity for him to be consistently available, as the IndyCar season ends early and he would be in the US for some races. Both Fittipaldi and Haas are exploring the possibilities and intend to come to an agreement that works for everyone involved.
