SAO PAULO (AP) — Kevin Magnussen is unwell and unable to race for Haas in Friday’s free practice or in Saturday’s sprint race for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The 19-year-old Oliver Bearman will replace the Dane.
Haas did not elaborate on Magnussen’s illness.
“The team wishes Kevin a quick recovery and will provide a further update in due course,” Haas said.
British driver Bearman will be making his second appearance for Haas. He also replaced Magnussen at the Azerbaijan GP in September and scored a point.
Bearman, who will race for Haas in 2025, finished Friday morning’s free practice at Interlagos with the third best time, behind McLaren’s Lando Norris and Mercedes’ George Russell.
