168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc are not set to be in action on the third and final day of Ferrari’s private F1 test at Barcelona.

Hamilton and Leclerc will step aside after two days of sharing driving duties in a 2023 car to enable Ferrari to evaluate some ꧑of their reserve ﷽driver options on Thursday.

Thisꦇ was planned before Hamil🐈ton crashed his Ferrari on Wednesday, scuppering the team's testing programme for the day.

Ferrari𓃲 booked out the Spanish Grand Prix venue for three days this week to help Hamilton continue his preparations for the 2025 F1 season alongside new teammate Leclerc.

Hamilton has had a further opportunity to learn Ferrari’s procedures and establish a working re൲lationship with new race engineer Riccardo Adami in a behind closed doors test which falls under the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC).

The seven-time world champion drove in the afternoon on Tuesday and has been back behind the wheel of Ferrari’s SF-23 challenger on Wednesday morning, a s🧸ession which ended early du𓂃e to a crash.

However, Thursday is set to provi🅠de other drivers from Ferrari’s pool with a chance to get some F1 mileage under their belts.

Ex-Sauber driver Antonio Giovinazzi, who has held a reserve role with Ferrari since 2017, is set to get some run🃏ning alongside Dino Beganovic.

21-year-old Beganovic 𒅌is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy who will contest his first full season in Formula 2 with Hitech꧑ in 2025.

The day will 𒈔not only provide Beganovic with some important time to familiarise himself with F1 machinery, but 🤡also enable him to complete the mileage he needs to qualify for a Super Licence.

Ferrari are yet to officially confirm thꦓeir reserve driver options for 2025.

Oliver Bꦗearman carried 💯out the role in 2024 and substituted for Carlos Sainz in Saudi Arabia, but Ferrari need alternatives after the Briton secured a full-time seat with Haas for the upcoming campaign.

While Giovinazzi has always been a possible fall-back for Ferrari, Beganovic could emer♏ge as another candidate for the Scuderia.

Beganovic is also likely to be handed some 🙈FP1 out✃ings this year to fulfil Ferrari’s mandatory young driver quota.

Zhou Guanyu has 🌄a♍lso been linked with the role after losing his Sauber seat.

Mean🐈while, Hamilton and Leclerc will get further running at Barcelona in a Pirelli 2026 tyre test alongside McLaren next Tuesday and Wednesday (4-5 February).
