Why Felipe Drugovich is still committed to F1 future
“Instead of competing in the 2022 F2 season, the champion will focus on sim running and private testing with a two-year-old car upgraded to the 2022 model. This is different from the approach taken by Sauber and Alpine, who are considering placing their drivers in Super Formula and WEC programmes respectively. Drugovich faces the challenge of limited opportunities to move up to an F1 race seat, despite having a decent sponsorship package. Furthermore, there are no expected changes to the 2024 driver line-up at Aston Martin, making it difficult to see a natural progression for him within the team. However, he is happy to stay at Aston as they have been supportive and he values the opportunity to develop himself on and off the track. Although there is the question of whether he will be released for another drive if the opportunity arises in 2024, Drugovich feels comfortable at Aston and enjoys the work he is doing there, despite not currently racing in a competitive series.”
