Alfa Romeo F1 boss Vasseur admits the team is struggling to find a slot to run Pourchaire in a Friday practice session this season.
This year all teams have to stand down each of their race drivers at some stage of the season to give an FP1 session to a rookie.
Vasseur says the original plan was to run Pourchaire in France later this month. However, following the cancellation of the Russian GP, the F2 organisation has moved the event that was to run at Sochi to the French GP weekend. It won't be possible on F1 sprint weekends when FP1 is followed by qualifying, which also takes out Red Bull Ring, as well as Interlagos.
In addition, Pirelli is planning to use two or three FP2 sessions later in the season to test prototype 2023 tyres, and Vasseur says that combining that with an FP1 rookie run would be too disruptive.
