Felipe Drugovich Eyes F1 Glory: The High-Stakes Race for Cadillac’s 2026 Seat!

Felipe Drugovich: The Underdog Rising to Claim His F1 Destiny Amidst Cadillac Speculations!

In a world where the stakes are sky-high and the competition is fiercer than ever, Felipe Drugovich is making waves as he eyes a potential seat with the new Cadillac F1 team! With whispers circulating about his future and connections to the coveted second seat, Drugovich is keeping his head down and focusing on what he does best—driving.

Recently, the Brazilian talent seized a golden opportunity to impress during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, stepping in for the injured Fernando Alonso in the opening practice session. In a breathtaking display of skill, Drugovich finished 16th, just three-tenths behind his seasoned Aston Martin teammate. It was a moment that could very well set the stage for his return to Formula 1 next season, but let’s be clear—this is not just a practice run; it’s a declaration of intent!

“I really don’t know,” Drugovich stated when asked about the timing of his participation in relation to Cadillac’s driver shortlist. “I’m trying to do the best I can on track, and then hopefully that translates into a seat next year.” The pressure is on, but instead of succumbing to it, Drugovich is channeling his energy into doing right by Aston Martin. His focus remains unwavering: “All I did was just try to do the work for the team and try to make them happy.”

Rumors are swirling that Drugovich is one of the frontrunners to partner with Sergio Perez at Cadillac, and multiple sources suggest that a deal could be in the pipeline, with an announcement rumored to coincide with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Could this be the moment that changes everything for Drugovich?

In a recent interview, Drugovich boldly positioned himself as the ideal candidate for Cadillac. “I think I’m the best driver, the best third driver there is at the moment, with the most kilometers driven, the Formula 2 championship, victories, and experience in other categories as well,” he confidently proclaimed. His impressive track record includes the unique distinction of never crashing a Formula 1 or Formula 2 car, setting him apart from his peers.

But that’s not all—Drugovich brings a wealth of experience from various racing categories, including Hypercar and Formula E. “Next year will be very much about the engine, about battery and energy savings, and that’s basically all the experience I have from Hypercar and Formula E as well,” he emphasized, highlighting his readiness for the 2026 season.

His current teammate, the legendary Fernando Alonso, has thrown his weight behind Drugovich, expressing hope that the talented 25-year-old secures a full-time seat. “It would be great to see him in F1,” Alonso stated passionately. “He has an incredible talent, Formula 2 was a demonstration.” With Alonso’s endorsement and Drugovich’s undeniable skills, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown in the world of F1 racing.

Having already established a rapport with Cadillac through his racing for Cadillac Whelen in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, Drugovich is not just another name in the mix—he’s a serious contender ready to shake up the grid! Will he secure his place in the cutthroat world of Formula 1? One thing’s for sure: Felipe Drugovich is on the rise, and the motorsport world is watching closely!
