Aston Martin has gone early in announcing part of its plans for the Abu Dhabi young driver test.
Jak Crawford will drive a contemporary F1 car for the first time at the young driver test in Abu Dhabi for Aston Martin. Crawford, an American currently fifth in F2, has tested the 2022 machine earlier this year but has not yet driven the ’24-spec car. The team will confirm who will join Crawford for the test after the season finale. The rookie sprint race idea for 2024 has been canceled, so the standard testing program will proceed as planned. Crawford expressed his excitement for the opportunity to drive the AMR24 in Abu Dhabi and mentioned his preparation on the simulator at the AMR Technology Campus. He is familiar with the Yas Marina circuit and is hoping this will help him adapt quickly to the new car. Crawford gave thanks to everyone at Aston Martin for this chance to drive the car in the upcoming test.
