Brazilian driver Felipe Drugovich is cementing his place as a cornerstone of Aston Martin’s Formula 1 ambitions, with the team confirming his extension as Test and Reserve Driver through 2025. Drugovich, who joined the team in 2022, has become an indispensable figure both on the track and behind the scenes, driving Aston Martin’s relentless march toward the F1 elite.

The Silent Hero: Drugovich’s Impact on Aston Martin’s Rise

In just two years, Drugovich has proven his worth with standout contributions including five FP1 sessions, three end-of-season tests, and a crucial role stepping in for Lance Stroll during Bahrain’s 2023 pre-season testing. His meticulous feedback and consistency behind the wheel have made him a trusted pillar of Aston Martin’s progress.

“I’m obviously really pleased to be staying with Aston Martin Aramco for a third full season as Test & Reserve Driver,” said Drugovich. “The incredible new facilities at the AMRTC, including the state-of-the-art simulator, show the team’s ambition. I’m committed to being a part of Aston Martin Aramco’s long-term success.”

Mike Krack: “Felipe Is a Real Asset”

Aston Martin’s Chief Trackside Officer, Mike Krack, echoed Drugovich’s importance to the team.

“Felipe has been a vital member of our team since joining, and we are very pleased to continue working with him into 2025. His contributions in the simulator and test sessions have been invaluable, and he doesn’t put a foot wrong behind the wheel,” Krack stated. “Felipe’s dedication and feedback have played a crucial role in our progress, and we’re confident he will continue to make a significant impact.”

Krack also spotlighted Drugovich’s versatility, wishing him success in the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race, where the Brazilian will showcase his talents beyond Formula 1.

The Road Ahead: Drugovich’s Role in Aston Martin’s Ambitions

As Aston Martin gears up to challenge Formula 1’s top teams, Drugovich’s role grows increasingly vital. Alternating Test and Reserve Driver duties with Stoffel Vandoorne, he’ll continue contributing to the team’s race weekend preparations, simulator work, and car development.

Drugovich’s partnership with Aston Martin also gives him access to cutting-edge tools at the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula 1 Team (AMRTC) facility, where innovations like their brand-new simulator are shaping the team’s future.

Eyes on 2025: A Collaborative Vision

For Drugovich, this extension isn’t just about continuity; it’s about being part of a long-term mission. The 24-year-old Brazilian’s steady hand and sharp feedback are helping to shape a team poised to break through at the sharp end of the grid. With Aston Martin’s relentless push for excellence, Drugovich remains a key piece in their Formula 1 puzzle.
