Ferrari still has room for Beganovic As a continuation of his last presence in Barcelona, Dino Beganovic will once again get behind the wheel of his No. 36 Ferrari in FP1 of the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.
If Lewis Hamilton had taken over in Catalonia, Charles Leclerc would have made room for him in Styria and will therefore be watching the first free practice sessions of the weekend from the garage. Beganovic performed very well at Montmelò, finishing the session in 8th place, 1.4 seconds behind leader George Russell and less than a second behind Leclerc, completing 30 laps in total.
The Swede then got behind the wheel of his F2 DAMS to take seventh place in the Sprint and sixth place in the Special Race. For Beganovic, this will be his fourth appearance at a Formula 1 race weekend, always behind the wheel of one of the two Ferraris, following FP1 races in Bahrain and Austria 2025 and Barcelona 2026.
We would like to remind you that according to the rules, each team is obliged to field a driver with less than two races in four FP1 races in Formula 1. Leclerc on the bench Charles Leclerc will therefore have to apply the brakes in the pits because he wants to forget the last races in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, which both ended in retirement.
However, Leclerc’s performance in Austria is positive; Considering that he won GP3 in 2016, F2 in 2017 and F1 in 2022, making a total of five podium finishes in the first category, nine times.
