Hawkins hopes Aston Martin F1 test can lead to longer term role
Jessica Hawkins, the development driver for Aston Martin F1 Team, recently became the first woman in three years to drive a near-current F1 car during a test at the Hungaroring. While acknowledging the slim chances of making it to F1 through the traditional F3 and F2 routes, Hawkins remains hopeful about continuing her role with the team in simulation or testing, as well as exploring opportunities in sportscar racing. She emphasizes that other opportunities within F1 exist beyond racing, and she appreciates the support and faith the team has shown in her abilities. Hawkins also expresses interest in Aston Martin’s Hypercar program in the WEC and IMSA championships, while still actively pursuing racing in GT3, GTE, or LMP categories.
