Oscar Piastri To Miss Abu Dhabi FP1 Under F1 Rookie Rule

McLaren confirmed Pato O’Ward will take Lando Norris’s car in Mexico, leaving a second rookie run owed in Piastri’s, likely to happen in Abu Dhabi FP1. Sacrificing Yas Marina’s early session would satisfy F1’s rule, though unusual in a final-round decider. Rival Max Verstappen will also finish his allocation in Mexico. Piastri leads by 14 over Norris, 40 over Verstappen.
