The Formula 2 driver made his F1 debut with McLaren at the Austrian Grand Prix in June, finishing fourth in the opening practice session<\/a>, just 0.069 seconds off Piastri.<\/p>\n

His recall to Monza continues McLaren\u2019s compliance with the F1 rule requiring each team to run a rookie driver in two FP1 sessions per car each season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited to be back for my second FP1 with McLaren in Monza this weekend,\u201d Dunne said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first one in Austria was an extremely special day for me, but I think to do it again in Monza, which is a track that\u2019s so historic and prestigious, is definitely going to put a very big smile on my face.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally looking forward to it. Hopefully, I can build and improve on what was already a strong outing in Austria, and help Lando and Oscar as much as possible going into their weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLaren has not officially confirmed which driver Dunne will replace, though it is understood he will step in for Piastri.<\/p>\n

The championship leader has yet to sit out a session this year, while Lando Norris already gave way to Dunne in Austria.<\/p>\n

Later in the season, IndyCar star Pato O\u2019Ward is scheduled for FP1 at the Mexico City Grand Prix, leaving one more session to be allocated.<\/p>\n

Dunne will also contest F2 at Monza, where he has slipped to fifth in the standings after earlier leading the championship.<\/p>\n

With four rounds remaining, the Italian weekend represents a pivotal stage in his title bid, with the Irishman now 30 points behind leader Leonardo Fornaroli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar Piastri is set to sit out his first practice session of the seasionin Monza.
