Ferrari retains Dino Beganovic as test driver, shifts from academy role

Summary

Ferrari has confirmed it will continue its relationship with driver Dino Beganovic, transitioning him to a test and development driver role in 2027. Beganovic, who has been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy since 2020 and currently races in Formula 2, will no longer be in the academy next year. Although he has secured wins in both Formula 3 and Formula 2, Ferrari sees no path for him to a full-time Formula 1 seat. Instead, the team values his contributions in simulator work and free practice sessions conducted this season. Future plans are unclear for Beganovic following his successful recent race in Madrid.
