Felipe Drugovich, a former F2 world champion, finds himself in a difficult situation in the ruthless world of motorsport. With limited seats available in various racing categories, drivers often face disappointments. Unfortunately, this was the case for Gabriel Aubry, a former GP3 driver.
After a previous agreement, Aubry was set to drive for Vector Sport in the ELMS racing category. However, the team acted behind his back and secured the services of the reserve driver for Aston Martin F1 for the upcoming 2024 ELMS campaign. This unexpected turn of events left Aubry hurt by Vector Sport’s actions.
Aubry took to Instagram to release a statement following Vector Sport’s announcement. The team confirmed the inclusion of Felipe Drugovich in the ELMS team, a position Aubry was already assigned to. The French driver expressed his disappointment through his social media.
On the other hand, Felipe Drugovich, the former F2 world champion and reserve driver for Aston Martin, has a busy schedule this year. He will fulfill his duties as a reserve driver for Lawrence Stroll’s team, while also taking on a racing role in the ELMS. However, Aubry struggles to accept the current situation.
While Gabriel Aubry is devastated after being let down by Vector Sport, Drugovich is excited about the opportunity to compete in the ELMS racing category. The 23-year-old Brazilian will share the Vector Sport ELMS car with two other drivers.
Drugovich is highly regarded in the racing world and has come close to securing a spot in F1 on several occasions. Although he has not yet reached that milestone, his potential as a racing driver is undeniable. It will be interesting to see how he performs during the 2024 ELMS season, as he will surely attract attention for various reasons.
