科拉平托与拉塞尔将缺席F1墨西哥站第一次自由练习。
多位年轻车手将参加第一次自由练习，其中包括迎来大奖赛周末首秀的加布里埃莱·米尼。
加布里埃莱·米尼将在墨西哥大奖赛第一次自由练习中驾驶科拉平托的阿尔派赛车，完成个人F1比赛周末首秀。
这位曾领跑F2积分榜的车手目前排名第四，在剩余两轮按计划进行的情况下争冠希望渺茫；自2023赛季起，他就是阿尔派的青训车手，此前他在Formula Regional European Championship获得年度亚军。
作为F3亚军，米尼通过阿尔派的旧车测试（TPC）项目积累了F1经验，现在他将在罗德里格斯兄弟赛道驾驶与之前截然不同的现役赛车。
“我期待坐进A526的座舱，参加我人生中第一次F1第一节自由练习，”米尼说道。
“作为阿尔派青训营的一员多年并一路从低级别赛事晋升，参加一场正式的F1练习赛对我来说将是非常特别的时刻。感谢弗拉维奥（布里亚托雷，车队领队）、史蒂夫（尼尔森，总经理）以及车队所有人对我的信任和给予的机会。
“我一直在恩斯通基地做大量准备，花时间在模拟器上并与工程师密切合作，确保自己尽可能准备充分，无论对个人还是对车队都能展现出最好的一面。我的目标是在赛道上做到最好，帮助车队获得宝贵的数据和反馈，希望能为这个成功的周末打好基础，让皮埃尔（加斯利）和弗朗科在周末结束时都能拿到积分。”
各车队在墨西哥站第一节练习中派出大量年轻车手，以满足全年四次新秀出场的要求——每辆车整个赛季两次。在阿尔派车队，米尼的这次出场将是第三次此类安排，此前储备车手保罗·阿隆曾在匈牙利赛道和蒙扎出场。
与此同时在威廉姆斯车队，储备车手卢克·布朗宁将在墨西哥和巴西迎来他职业生涯第八和第九次第一节练习出场，分别替代亚历山大·阿尔本和卡洛斯·塞恩斯。
“我很高兴能重新坐进FW48赛车，也感谢Atlassian威廉姆斯F1车队信任我，让我承担车队今年全部四次新秀第一节练习出场，”布朗宁说道，他目前在自己的首个超级方程式赛季中仅排名第13位。
“这是一个很好的机会，能在赛车中积累更多圈数，同时加深我对新套件的理解，并把有用的数据和反馈带回格罗夫。每一节练习都会教给你新东西，我会从中汲取每一点学习成果，帮助自己持续进步，也推动车队前进。”
2023年F2亚军弗雷德里克·维斯蒂将在墨西哥迎来本赛季第三次代表梅赛德斯出场，驾驶乔治·拉塞尔的W17赛车。“非常感谢乔治让我开你的车，”这位丹麦人说道，不过拉塞尔在奥斯汀经历了“六圈好圈、五十圈烂圈”之后，或许更希望参加全部三节练习赛，而他自己也对此百思不得其解。
正如之前报道的那样，弗雷迪·斯莱特将在墨西哥和巴西完成奥迪的新秀出场任务，此前阿尔派的阿伦在巴塞罗那和红牛环被租借给了该车队。

Franco Colapinto, George Russell to sit out FP1 at F1 Mexico GP
Several youngsters are in for FP1, including Gabriele Mini on his grand prix weekend debut
Gabriele Mini is set to make his Formula 1 race weekend debut, driving Franco Colapinto’s Alpine in Free Practice 1 at the Mexico Grand Prix.
The erstwhile Formula 2 championship leader, now lying fourth in the standings with a very slim title chance assuming the final two rounds proceed as planned, has been an Alpine protege since the start of the 2023 season following his runner-up campaign in the Formula Regional European Championship.
Also a Formula 3 runner-up, Mini has been gaining F1 experience courtesy of Alpine’s Testing of Previous Cars [TPC] programme and will now step up to the current, vastly different machinery at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
“I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the A526 and taking part in my first ever Free Practice 1 in Formula 1,” Mini said.
“Having been part of the Alpine Academy for several years and progressing through the junior ranks, competing in an official Formula 1 session is going to be a really special moment for me. Thank you to Flavio [Briatore, team boss], Steve [Nielsen, managing director] and everyone at the team for their trust and for the opportunity.
“I've been doing a lot of preparation back at base in Enstone, spending time on the simulator and working closely with the engineers to make sure I'm as ready as possible and able to put my best foot forward both personally and for the team. My goal is to do the best possible job on track and help provide valuable data and feedback to the team to hopefully set up a successful weekend, where both Pierre [Gasly] and Franco aim to score points by the end of it.”
Teams are fielding youngsters aplenty for FP1 in Mexico in order to fulfill the year-long requirement of four rookie entries – two per car across the season. At Alpine, Mini’s outing will be the third of the sort, following reserve driver Paul Aron’s appearances at the Hungaroring and Monza.
Meanwhile at Williams, reserve Luke Browning will get his eighth and ninth career FP1 entries in Mexico and Brazil, replacing Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.
“I’m happy to be back in the FW48 and grateful to be trusted by Atlassian Williams F1 Team with all four of the team’s rookie FP1 sessions this year,” said Browning, currently a lowly 13th in his maiden Super Formula campaign.
“It’s a great opportunity to get more laps in the car, while building my understanding of the new package and bringing useful data and feedback back to Grove. Each session teaches you something new, and I will take every bit of learning I can from this to help keep pushing my development and the team forward.”
2023 F2 runner-up Frederik Vesti will get his third outing of the season with Mercedes in Mexico, driving George Russell’s W17. “Huge thank you to George for letting me drive your car,” the Dane said, though perhaps Russell would have preferred to take part in all three practice sessions after experiencing “six good laps, 50 bad laps” in Austin, which he was at a loss to understand.
As previously reported, Freddie Slater will fulfill Audi’s rookie outings in Mexico and Brazil, after Alpine’s Aron was loaned to the team at Barcelona and the Red Bull Ring.
