Arthur and Charles Leclerc will become the first brothers to take part in a Formula 1 grand prix session for the same team
Ferrari has announced its development driver Arthur Leclerc will replace Carlos Sainz during first free practice at Formula 1's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, forming a unique line-up with his elder brother Charles. As part of F1's requirement to enter a rookie driver in two FP1 sessions, Ferrari has opted to hand Sainz's Ferrari SF-24 to the younger of the two Leclerc brothers at the Yas Marina circuit.
Leclerc also competed in the European Le Mans Series, taking an LMP2 race win for Panis Racing by TDS, and won the Italian GT Championship in a Ferrari 296GT alongside former F1 racer Giancarlo Fisichella and Tommaso Mosca.
