Charles and Arthur Leclerc will become the first brothers in history to participate in an F1 session as team-mates in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
The Ferrari duo will turn out in the first practice session at the Yas Marina Circuit, with Arthur replacing Carlos Sainz.
According to FIA regulations, all F1 drivers must sit out one FP1 each season to be replaced by a rookie with no more than two Grand Prix starts.
Charles made way for Ollie Bearman in Mexico, but with the incoming Haas driver now having appeared in a further two races, Arthur takes the place of Sainz to fulfil Ferrari's obligations.
Arthur, who raced in Formula 2 last year and ended the season in 15th place, has acted as Development Driver for Ferrari this year, while also racing in the Italian GT Championship and European Le Mans Series.
Currently third in the FIA World Championship, Charles will aim to leapfrog Lando Norris at the final Grand Prix of the season in Abu Dhabi, and secure a second-place finish behind runaway champion Max Verstappen for a second time in three years.
