Alpine confirmed earlier in the week the 22-year-old Estonian's participation in Friday's first free practice session at the Hungaroring, replacing Franco Colapinto for the session.

Aron recorded a best lap of 1:22.168 in the eighth practice session of his career, placing 19th among the 22 drivers. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the fastest time with a 1:19.075, 3.093 seconds ahead of Aron. He was followed by Max Verstappen (Red Bull; +0.484) and Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari; +0.543).

The Hungarian Grand Prix itself starts 4 p.m. Estonian time on Sunday.
