I believe they have enough spare parts that if they worked through the night they could have a car, but I believe there is some sort of rule that the driver has to be there for quali at a minimium. Or an exception if they are there for free practice but cant go to quali because of a mechanical issue they can still drive and start from pit lane.
I dont think the current rules allow for a reserve driver to be flown in during the middle of the night to jump behind the wheel for the first time on race day. A reserve driver would have to been lined up before quali1.
Could be wrong but that my understanding
Yea, now that I think about it for more than 3 seconds (which I should have done before I posted) it would be crazy to allow a reserve driver that didn't participate in qualifying to start a race.
It just hit me that I could probably google a lot of these questions lol but I appreciate the responses.
