season.
Heading

just
10
races
–

–
left
in

though

now
having
to
skip
the
event,
which
has
been
reintroduced
to
the
calendar
this
year.
The
41-year-old

driver
is
isolating

Robert

stand
in
for
the
2007
world
champion.
“Robert

been
reserve
driver
of

Racing
since
the
start
of
the

season
and
has
driven
the
team’s
C41
in
three
practice
sessions
this
year,”
Alfa
Romeo
said
via

“With
97
Formula
One
starts
to
his
name
and
experience
with
2021
Formula
One
machinery,
he
will
be
ready
for
action
and
to
give
his
best
for
the
team.”
