A rookie is a driver with no more than one Grand Prix start to his name. This is the hard standard that teams must follow.<\/p>\n<p>Some names have already completed the requirement. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes), Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) and Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber) came to their mandatory sessions in Australia and China.<\/p>\n<p>Some drivers don't count. Ollie Bearman already started three times in Grands Prix last year, so he is no longer a rookie. Jack Doohan made his debut in Abu Dhabi last year. So technically, he could have counted as a rookie in Australia. However, Alpine was already using rookies for four sessions, so that situation was not a factor.<\/p>\n<h2>Mexico and notable names<\/h2>\n<p>Several young drivers are again on the list for the Mexico weekend. Williams puts in F2 driver Luke Browning. Aston Martin has Jak Crawford driving. Red Bull chooses Arvid Lindblad.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford makes his first FP1 appearance in Formula 1. For Browning and Lindblad, it is their second free practice of the season.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, IndyCar winner Pato O'Ward returns in a McLaren for an FP1 session.<\/p>\n<h2>Confirmed FP1 smoke runs by team<\/h2>\n<p>The table below shows the stakes known so far per team and per race.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>McLaren (3):<\/strong> Alex Dunne - Austria, Italy; Pato O'Ward - Mexico.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ferrari (2):<\/strong> Dino Beganovic - Bahrain, Austria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red Bull (3):<\/strong> Ayumu Iwasa - Bahrain; Arvid Lindblad - Great Britain, Mexico.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mercedes (3):<\/strong> Kimi Antonelli - Australia, China; Frederick Vesti - Bahrain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aston Martin (3):<\/strong> Felipe Drugovich - Bahrain, Hungary; Jak Crawford - Mexico.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alpine (4):<\/strong> Jack Doohan - Australia (not counted as a rookie); Paul Aron - three times (Italy + 2 races to be determined); Ryo Hirakawa - Japan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Haas (2):<\/strong> Ryo Hirakawa - Bahrain, Spain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Racing Bulls (2):<\/strong> Isack Hadjar - Australia, China.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Williams (3):<\/strong> Luke Browning - Bahrain, Mexico; Victor Martins - Spain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sauber (4):<\/strong> Gabriel Bortoleto - Australia, China; Paul Aron - Great Britain, Hungary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What stands out?<\/h3>\n<p>Teams actively rotate riders. Some juniors drive for several teams in separate sessions. This provides extra experience for the young drivers.
