Sao Paulo Grand Prix 2024: British driver Oliver Bearman replaces unwell Kevin Magnussen at Haas
Oliver Bearman will replace Kevin Magnussen for the entire Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend after the Dane had to pull out through illness.
The 19-year-old was initially drafted in only for Friday’s running and the sprint race early on Saturday.
But on Friday evening the team said Bearman would continue in Magnussen’s car for the remainder of the weekend.
Bearman qualified 10th for the sprint, which is at 14:00 UK time on Saturday, two places ahead of regular driver Nico Hulkenberg.
The Briton will be full-time for Haas next season, when Frenchman Esteban Ocon joins the team from Alpine.
Brazil is Bearman’s second competitive appearance for Haas in five grands prix – he replaced Magnussen at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after he was banned for accruing too many penalty points on his licence.
