P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Kevin Magnussen has been sidelined for the opening day of running at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Oliver Bearman will be replacing Kevin Magnussen for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix’s Friday driving duties due to Magnussen’s illness. Magnussen had to skip the track running after an unknown illness struck him in Brazil, despite celebrating his best result of the season in the previous race in Mexico, finishing seventh. Bearman has filled in for Magnussen earlier this season during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. While Magnussen is ruled out for the sprint race due to regulations, he might be able to return on Saturday for the grand prix qualifying if he feels better. The Haas F1 team confirmed Bearman’s temporary role and plans to provide further updates on Magnussen’s health. Bearman is set to take on a full-time position at Haas next season alongside Esteban Ocon.
