After the previous record set at Monza in 2022 with 44 cars on the grid, the championship has already surpassed that mark: 47 single-seaters ready to take to the track on Thursday for the collective tests ahead of the opening round of the season at the Misano circuit on the Adriatic Riviera.

In this milestone year, no fewer than four drivers on the Formula 1 grid began their careers with the Dutch team. This impressive achievement highlights Van Amersfoort Racing’s (VAR) significant impact on international motorsport.

Carlos Sainz has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will require surgery. As from FP3 and for the rest of this weekend, he will be replaced by reserve Ferrari driver Oliver Bearman. Oliver will therefore take no further part in this round of the F2 Championship.
