Felipe Drugovich will remain as test and reserve driver of Aston Martin in 2025 F1 season alongside Stoffel Vandoorne.
After having secured the F2 title, Drugovich took up a reserve role at Aston Martin in 2022 and has been part of it since then. He has driven the F1 car at several occasions which includes the rookie FP1 sessions and end of season tests.
He will share the reserve duties with Vandoorne, who has his own racing programme. “I’m obviously really pleased to be staying with Aston Martin Aramco for a third full season as Test & 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 AMRTC, 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.”
At the same time trackside officer Mike Krack 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.”
