F2 CHAMP DRUGOVICH JOINS ASTON MARTIN
Brazilian racer Felipe Drugovich has become an Aston Martin reserve driver and has become the first recruit to its driver development programme.
The 22-year-old wrapped up the F2 crown at the recent Italian Grand Prix weekend and will now test the team’s
2021 AMR21 and attend grands prix as part of the team’s line-up. He is also scheduled to take part free practice one in Abi Dhabu and also the Young Driver Test at the same venue one week later.
He said: “Winning in Formula 2 has long been regarded as the best possible launchpad into a career in Formula 1, and I see my role at AMF1 as giving me all the tools to take that crucial next step.
“For me, 2023 will be a learning curve: I will be working with the F1 team, but my primary goal is to learn and develop as a driver. I hope that will give me an opportunity to race in Formula 1 in the future.”
