Felipe Drugovich is keen for a chance to get behind the wheel of an Aston Martin after coming within a whisker of making his Formula 1 debut.
The Brazilian won the Formula 2 title last year but was unable to land a race seat this season. So he signed with Aston Martin as the first member of the team's newly-established driver academy and is one of two reserve drivers alongside Formula E champion Stoffel Vandoorne.
For a while, it looked as though his debut would come sooner than expected. A pre-season cycling accident pitted Lance Stroll in a race against time to be fit for the first race of the season in Bahrain.
