Stake F1 is using this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix to complete its young driver requirements.
Ferrari reserve driver Robert Shwartzman will replace Zhou Guanyu in first practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix as confirmed by Stake F1. This will be Shwartzman’s second appearance in an F1 session this season after participating in the first practice at the Dutch Grand Prix post-summer break. During his first session at Zandvoort, Shwartzman substituted for Valtteri Bottas, now it’s Zhou’s turn to miss a practice session in Mexico City. By participating in this weekend’s first practice, Shwartzman will fulfill the team’s requirement of running a young driver in two F1 sessions this season. Stake F1 shared on social media their partnership with Scuderia Ferrari in giving young talents like Shwartzman an opportunity in practice sessions, wishing him the best of luck for the upcoming session with a subsequent return of Zhou for the rest of the race weekend at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
