SAO PAULO (AP) — Teenage British driver Oliver Bearman will once again have a full weekend competing in a Formula 1 cockpit. The 19-year-old will replace Kevin Magnussen in a Haas car at the Brazilian Grand Prix, as the Dane recovers from an unknown illness. The 19-year-old excelled on Friday at Interlagos and at the end of the day his team confirmed he will race on Sunday. Haas did not elaborate on Magnussen’s illness.
