FP1 Round Up: All the Formula 2 stars of the past and present on track in Spielberg

This weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix will see several stars from Formula 2’s past and present take part in Free Practice 1.
First of all, Dino Beganovic will be jumping into 2017 F2 champion Charles Leclerc’s SF-26 for Scuderia Ferrari.
The DAMS Lucas Oil driver took part in Free Practice 1 in Barcelona, taking over from Lewis Hamilton, and he is set to be back in the car again this weekend.
Luke Browning also took part in the Barcelona FP1, and the Briton will once again be driving for Williams this weekend – going behind the wheel of Carlos Sainz’s FW48.
Paul Aron and Jak Crawford were also in the car in Spain, and both are back again. The former takes over Gabriel Bortoleto’s Audi, while the latter replaces Lance Stroll at Aston Martin.
Ayumu Iwasa drove in place of Isack Hadjar at Red Bull Racing two weeks ago, but this weekend will be substituting in for Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls.
