He was a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2014 to 2018.<\/p>\n<p><b>Antonio Giovinazzi<\/b>, in addition to being a driver for the Hypercar program in WEC, will also retain his role as a reserve driver for Ferrari, which means that the Chinese driver will not be the only one taking on this role.<\/p>\n<h2>Red Bull<\/h2>\n<p>The Red Bull team has a thriving junior pool, although less extensive than a few seasons ago. However, each driver from the Red Bull junior program is potentially a reserve driver for F1. Primarily, it is the Racing Bulls drivers, the second team, who will serve as reserves. A reserve driver at Racing Bulls then steps in for the main driver who goes to Red Bull. In theory, it&#8217;s Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda.<\/p>\n<h2>Mercedes<\/h2>\n<p>The return of <b>Valtteri Bottas<\/b> to the team he loved so much. \u00ab I am extremely happy to be <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/35754-valtteri-bottas-revient-mercedes-nouveau-role.html\" title=\"Retour chez Marcedes\">back with Mercedes<\/a>. The team continues to learn, to grow, and for some, there&#8217;s a lot of catching up to do. I will be the third pair of eyes and will be involved on all fronts: meetings, technical matters, and I can help a lot in the simulator. It will be a very different year for me, but I will be very busy as well. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Next to him, <b>Frederick Vesti.<\/b> After excelling in karting, he began single-seater racing in 2016 and quickly demonstrated his talent. He participated in the FIA Formula 2 championship in 2023. This year, in addition to Formula 2, he will be a driver for Cadillac Whelen in IMSA 2025, which shows his ambitions in motorsport.<\/p>\n<h2>Aston Martin<\/h2>\n<p><b>Felipe Drugovich<\/b>, the 2022 Formula 2 season champion, <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/35629-aston-martin-confirme-felipe-drugovich-tant-que-pilote-reserve-2025.html\" title=\"Confirmation Drugovitch\">will continue to be a reserve driver<\/a> for the Aston Martin team in 2025, while still aspiring for a place in Formula 1. He even stated: \u00ab I am obviously very happy to remain with Aston Martin for a third full season as a test and reserve driver [\u2026] I am committed to contributing to Aston Martin&#8217;s long-term success. As always, I want to thank the team for their constant support. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p><b>Stoffel Vandoorne<\/b>. The Belgian has expressed his interest in returning to Formula 1, stating that he is ready if an opportunity arises. Currently, he races in the Formula E championship with Maserati Racing.<\/p>\n<h2>Alpine<\/h2>\n<p>The French team has the largest reserve on the grid with 3 drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Aron, third in the 2024 FIA Formula 2 championship, had the opportunity to experience F1 with BWT Alpine Formula One Team during testing in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ryo Hirakawa<\/b> is currently engaged with Toyota Gazoo Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship.<\/p>\n<p>He held similar positions in Formula 1 with McLaren. He will take part in the first free practice session of the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka circuit, riding the A525.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, it was revealed that Franco Colapinto would replace Logan Sargeant at Williams Racing for the remainder of the Formula 1 season. Franco competed in the nine remaining events, scoring points at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the United States Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>In January, the Alpine team announced that it had reached an agreement with Williams Racing to secure the services of Franco in the context of a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n<h2>Williams<\/h2>\n<p><b>Oliver Turvey<\/b>. The 37-year-old Englishman began as a test driver for McLaren in his youth, before moving to Formula E from 2015 to 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>Visa Cash App Racing Bulls<\/h2>\n<p>Ayumu Iwasa, a 23-year-old Japanese driver, has never experienced F1 and will be a reserve at Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n<h2>Haas<\/h2>\n<p><b>Kevin Magnussen<\/b>, the former main driver of the American team, will be in the reserve this year.<\/p>\n<h2>Sauber<\/h2>\n<p>Unknown, to be confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As 20 drivers prepare for the Australian Grand Prix, each team&#8217;s reserve drivers stand ready to step in if needed.
