Haas has confirmed that Kevin Magnussen will not take any part in this weekend's São Paulo Grand Prix. 

The team's driver for next season, Oliver Bearman, took the Danish driver's spot on Friday at Interlagos, where he qualified in tenth for Saturday's sprint race. 

Magnussen was ruled out of Friday's action after suffering from an unknown illness, which has now sidelined him for the remainder of the weekend to recover. 

Bearman will continue to replace Magnussen across Saturday and Sunday, in what will be his third F1 race.

A Haas statement read: "MoneyGram Haas F1 Team can confirm that Kevin Magnussen will not compete in the São Paulo Grand Prix and Oliver Bearman will race for the team for the remainder of the weekend."
