Brazilian to continue on as Reserve and Test driver

The Brazilian has been with the team since 2022 and has appeared in five FP1 sessions and three end-of-season tests as well. 

Drugovich also drove for Aston Martin in the pre-season testing in 2023 when Lance Stroll was injured and the Brazilian will continue to be present at the races during the 2025 season along with the team’s other Test and Reserve Driver – Stoffel Vandoorne.

“I’m obviously really pleased to be staying with Aston Martin Aramco for a third full season as Test and Reserve Driver. 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.”
