Italy's Antonio Giovinazzi will take part in Friday free practice sessions with Haas at the Italian and U.S. Grands Prix, the Ferrari-powered Formula One team said on Monday.
"Ferrari were keen to give Antonio some seat time in a current-spec Formula One car on a race weekend and we were naturally happy to assist," said Haas team boss Guenther Steiner. Formula One teams are obliged to hand two practice sessions to young drivers, or those with limited F1 running, and Haas will still have to do that given Giovinazzi's level of experience."I’m so glad to have the chance to drive again in official F1 sessions," said Giovinazzi, who took part in seven first free practices with Haas in 2017.
