Ferrari reserve driver Robert Shwartzman will have a Friday practice session for Stake at the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix. Shwartzman currently competes for AF Corse Ferrari in the World Endurance Championship and has experience in F1 with previous FP1 sessions and a test drive for Haas in 2021. He will step in for Valtteri Bottas during the first Friday practice session at Zandvoort. Stake has talents like Theo Pourchaire and Zane Maloney in the Sauber driver academy, but Shwartzman will be the first to represent the team in an FP1 run, fulfilling the rookie appearances requirement. Both Bottas and Zhou Guaynu’s futures at Stake are uncertain, with Nico Hulkenberg expected to join the team in 2025 prior to its switch to the Audi factory project, despite Carlos Sainz declining a partnership opportunity.
