Felipe Drugovich to continue in Test and Reserve Role for Aston Martin F1 Team

2022 Formula 2 Champion Felipe Drugovich is set to continue in his role as a Test and Reserve driver for the Aston Martin Formula 1 Team this year.

The Brazilian joined the team’s driver development programme at the start of the 2023 season and since then he has taken part in five Free Practice 1 sessions and three post-season tests.

In addition to that, Drugovich also drove for the team at the 2023 pre-season test in Bahrain, filling in for an injured Lance Stroll.

He will continue to be present for the team trackside in 2025 and speaking following the announcement, Drugovich expressed his delight at continuing on with Aston Martin.

"I'm obviously really pleased to be staying with Aston Martin Aramco for a third full season as Test and Reserve Driver,” said Drugovich.

“There's a lot of momentum at this team, and I'm excited to see what we can achieve together. The incredible new facilities at the AMR Technology Campus, including the brand-new simulator, demonstrate the ambition here, and I'm committed to being a part of Aston Martin Aramco's long-term success.

"As always, I want to thank the team for their ongoing support."

Aston Martin’s Chief Trackside Officer Mike Krack also added: "Felipe has been a vital member of our team since joining, and we are very pleased to continue working with him into 2025 – he is a real asset. His contributions behind the scenes, particularly in the simulator and during test sessions, have been invaluable, and he does not put a foot wrong behind the wheel.

"Felipe's dedication and feedback have played a crucial role in our progress, and we are confident he will continue to make a significant impact as part of our team.

"We wish him the best of luck at the upcoming 24 Hours of Daytona."
