P1racenews AI automatic summary:
All five of the junior drivers called up to do FP1 in the Mexican Grand Prix are real deal Formula 1 prospects – but their long-term seat chances are far from equal.
Half of the Formula 1 teams will have young drivers participating in the first practice at the Mexican Grand Prix to meet the rookie running requirement. Jack Doohan will take part in his third FP1 session with Alpine, while Theo Pourchaire will have his second FP1 outing with Alfa Romeo. Frederik Vesti, Ollie Bearman, and Isack Hadjar will all make their debut in the grand prix weekend with Haas, AlphaTauri, and Mercedes respectively. Their chances of racing in F1 vary, with Doohan having an outside shot for a 2023 seat but facing setbacks in his F2 campaign. Hadjar, despite his lower ranking, is highly regarded by Red Bull, but still has work to do. This weekend will be his first time driving an F1 car, presenting an opportunity for him to shine.
