Which F1 teams have satisfied the rules and run a rookie in FP1 during 2024, and which squads still need to?
As the season enters its crucial phase, some teams are required to field a ‘rookie’ driver in each car. Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes are among those rotating in fresh talent at the Mexico Grand Prix. Notable rookies include Pato O’Ward for McLaren and Kimi Antonelli for Mercedes, both with limited F1 experience. Several teams still need to fulfill this requirement: Ferrari, Red Bull, Williams, and Alpine have yet to field a rookie driver this season. Each team strategizes on how to meet this mandate, with choices like Isack Hadjar for Red Bull or possibly Gabriel Bortoleto for McLaren. The excitement builds as new faces grace the track and prove their worth in the world of Formula 1 racing.
