WEHRLEIN INJURED, WILL SIT OUT FIRST PRE-SEASON TEST
Sauber’s Pascal Wehrlein will sit out of the first preseason test on medical grounds.
The German suffered a back injury during a crash with Felipe Massa during the Race of Champions last month.
Sauber commented on initial rumours that Wehrlein would miss the test by saying he was still undergoing medical examinations, but he later confirmed on twitter he would be missing the test.
It’s understood Sauber may have come to a deal with Ferrari to allow Antonio Giovinazzi to run alongside Marcus Ericsson in the test, but the team are yet to confirm. Giovinazzi drove a Formula One car for this first time this month when he ran Ferrari’s 2015 challenger at the Fiorano test track.
Testing begins on the 27th of February.
