Antonelli among five drivers to miss Hungarian GP first practice The Formula 1 paddock is abuzz with a mix of excitement and intrigue as five drivers will sit out the opening practice session of the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday.
The reason behind this strategic decision lies in the FIA's rule requiring each team to run a rookie in at least two practice sessions for both cars.
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli will be missing from the first practice session, but reserve driver Frederik Vesti takes his place.
