Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich has signed with Aston Martin to be a reserve driver in Formula 1 for next season.
The Brazilian racer won the feeder series championship at Monza on Sunday. After confirming his status as champion, there was much speculation about his future and whether or not he might be able to land a seat on the grid for 2023.
Aston Martin statement is confirmation that he will not, and instead will become the first member of the team's new driver development programme. He will act as a reserve driver for next season, and drive an F1 car later this year in first practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
