For the first time, two Leclerc brothers may take to the track in Ferrari cars during Friday free practice at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

For the first time, two Leclerc brothers may take to the track in Ferrari cars during Friday free practice at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Ferrari's initial plan was to field reserve driver Oliver Bearman, but his prior appearances in 2024 have rendered him ineligible under the rookie practice regulations.

"Ferrari is considering putting Arthur Leclerc in Carlos Sainz's car," Corriere della Sera reports.

Arthur Leclerc, the 24-year-old younger brother of Ferrari's regular driver Charles Leclerc, is part of the Scuderia's driver development academy. He has extensive experience with Ferrari's Formula 1 operations, having worked in the simulator and played a key role in preparing setups for both Charles and Carlos Sainz.

"He has also been used for Pirelli tire tests, so he knows the mechanics of Formula 1 well," the Italian newspaper added.

The prospect of both brothers driving Ferrari F1 cars, even for a single practice session, has a personal significance. "Seeing them on track together, even if just for an hour, would be a gift for their mother Pascale, who has always supported them both," the report concluded.
