Magnussen\u2019s withdrawal was announced shortly before Friday\u2019s action at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, with Bearman called in to substitute for practice, Sprint Qualifying, and the Sprint race on Saturday. Following a second announcement after the Sprint Qualifying session, Haas stated Bearman would continue to race for the team in both Saturday\u2019s qualifying and Sunday\u2019s Grand Prix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"MoneyGram Haas F1 Team can confirm that Kevin Magnussen will not compete in the S\u00e3o Paulo Grand Prix and Oliver Bearman will race for the team for the remainder of the weekend,\" read the official statement from Haas F1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This marks Bearman\u2019s third stand-in appearance this season, having previously raced for Ferrari in Saudi Arabia when Carlos Sainz fell ill and for Haas in Azerbaijan after Magnussen received a one-race ban.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite the short notice, Bearman delivered a strong performance on Saturday, advancing to SQ3 in Sprint Qualifying and outperforming teammate Nico Hulkenberg, who qualified P12. While a small error left Bearman without a timed lap in SQ3, he still managed to secure P10 on the grid for the Sprint, a position he was thrilled to claim.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
