Haas confirmed that Oliver Bearman will complete the remainder of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend in place of the ill Kevin Magnussen.

Magnussen was ruled out of Friday’s race due to illness, with Bearman stepping in for FP1 and Sprint qualifying, impressing with a run to SQ3 and tenth on the grid ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg. Participating in Sprint qualifying meant that Bearman was already going to have to race in the Sprint, and the earliest Magnussen could have returned would be qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

Haas provided an update after Friday’s on-track action, with Magnussen ruled out for Sunday’s grand prix at Interlagos, and Bearman set for his second start for the team after a substitute appearance in Baku.

“MoneyGram Haas F1 Team can confirm that Kevin Magnussen will not compete in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix and Oliver Bearman will drive for the team for the remainder of the weekend,” the team said in a statement.

Haas has scored points in each of the last five grands prix, a streak that extends to six races if the Sprint at COTA is included. Magnussen himself finished seventh in Mexico City last weekend in what team principal Ayao Komatsu described as “the best race performance” he had seen from the Dane.

In addition to his outing with Haas in Azerbaijan, when he replaced the suspended Magnussen, Bearman also raced for Ferrari this year, finishing seventh at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in place of the ailing Carlos Sainz.
