All 11 Formula 1 teams are obliged to run a 'rookie' driver in each of their cars twice during the 2026 season - meaning four outings are required in total.

Rookies are defined by the regulation as any driver who has completed no more than one grand prix.

Arvid Lindblad's rookie status means Racing Bulls had already satisfied the requirement on his side of the garage by round two in China.

Below you'll find a list of all the FP1 rookies to have driven so far this season.
