Guenther Steiner, Haas F1 Team representative, explained that the team has an official reserve driver, so it is Pietro Fittipaldi who will receive calls as needed.

Pietro Fittipaldi, a longtime reserve driver at Haas F1, drove for the team in the last two races of the 2020 season in place of the injured Romain Grosjean.
“Pietro is always by our side for that,” Gunter Steiner added.
“I needed a reserve driver because of the new coronavirus outbreak for the last two years. He’s always around. He knows the team, he knows the car. No one can beat Pietro. ”
