Leonardo Fornaroli to Pilot Haas F1 Car in Jerez Test

Italian racing talent Leonardo Fornaroli is preparing for a significant step in his career, as reports from Autosport and Motorsport.com confirm he is scheduled to test a Formula 1 car with the Haas F1 Team at the Jerez circuit.

The test, which will take place over two days, falls under the FIA’s 'Testing of Previous Cars' (TPC) regulations. This allows teams to run machinery that is at least two years old, providing a vital bridge for young drivers to experience the downforce and performance levels of modern F1 cars without the restrictions of a current-year grand prix weekend.

Fornaroli, who recently clinched the Formula 2 title, has been a standout performer in the junior categories. This outing with Haas represents a major opportunity for the youngster to impress the team's leadership, including incoming team principal Ayao Komatsu, as they evaluate talent for future reserve or development roles.

For Indian fans tracking the F1 feeder series, this move signals the continued importance of the TPC program in identifying the next generation of grid contenders. While there is no live broadcast for private testing sessions, updates on the test are expected to be shared via official team social media channels. Fans looking to follow the broader F1 ecosystem can continue to catch all official race weekend action live on FanCode.
