Red Bull junior Iwasa to contest F1 Japan FP1 for RB

Red Bull junior and Super Formula driver Ayumu Iwasa is set for his Formula 1 grand prix weekend debut at next week's Japanese Grand Prix, taking over Daniel Ricciardo's RB car for FP1.

The RB team is fielding an all-Japanese line-up in first free practice with Iwasa joining regular driver Yuki Tsunoda in the VCARB 01 in their home round.

RB has given Iwasa the first of two mandatory rookie FP1 slots for the year, with the 22-year-old among the roster of young driver prospects that also includes reserve driver Liam Lawson and F2 driver Isack Hadjar.
