Aston Martin has announced Felipe Drugovich will continue in a test and reserve capacity during the 2025 F1 season.

The Brazilian driver, who won the F2 championship in 2022, has held the position for the past two years.

He will alternate in his duties with the team's other test and reserve driver, Stoffel Vandoorne, who also races full-time in Formula E for DS Penske.

"I'm obviously really pleased to be staying with Aston Martin Aramco for a third full season as Test & Reserve Driver," said Drugovich.

The 24-year-old continued: "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."

Drugovich will compete in IMSA endurance racing for Cadillac Whelen in 2025, including the upcoming 24 Hours of Daytona.

Former team principal Mike Krack, who is now the Silverstone squad's chief trackside officer 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."
