“Exciting driver training – said Guenther Steiner, Haas team principal. Pietro's reliability is always appreciated in the team, especially now that we are gathering data and experience for next season, so it is right that he gets in the car at the Abu Dhabi tests. Ollie performed well in Mexico, showing the right attitude and work ethic, and we were also impressed with his guidance, so we're happy to give him more time in our car to broaden his knowledge of Formula 1".

“It's always a great opportunity to drive a Formula 1 car,” declares Fittipaldi.
“I can't wait to get back in the car – says Berman. We'll do the first free practice session together on Friday, it will be fantastic to start from this base and then spend a whole day in the car next Tuesday. It will be the last chance to work towards 2024, so I will try to do a good job. The team has made me feel very comfortable since we joined in Qatar, I really enjoy working with them.”
