Leclerc welcomes daughter Bianca, Beganovic to drive in Brazil FP1

Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Bianca. The Ferrari driver remains in Monaco and is likely to miss Thursday's media commitments ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix.

Ferrari has confirmed that reserve driver Dino Beganovic will take over Leclerc's SF-26 for Friday's opening practice session. The arrangement also allows Ferrari to meet its mandatory rookie FP1 running quotas, with Beganovic making his fourth rookie FP1 appearance of the season alongside Lewis Hamilton.

Beganovic stepped in after plans for Brazilian driver Rafael Câmara were reshuffled, as Haas called him up to replace Esteban Ocon for the weekend.
