Philip Drugovich He is a Formula 2 champion and will be part of the Aston Martin team from next season. He will be a reserve pilot behind Fernando Alonso Y Lance Stroll. A new lineup for a team that wants to hit the table.
And Drugovich is very clear about what his role should be in 2023. This is how he commented in statements to ‘PlanetF1’: “The main objective for next year is to gain as much experience as possible. Following the team, learning everything I can”.
Regarding Alonso, he details how his first contacts have been: “He does not need an introduction. He has been very nice to me. I hope he can learn a lot from him next yearis the right person to learn from.”
“We made the decision in Zandvoort. There were quite long discussions because we were looking at all the possibilities. I just didn’t want to miss a bigger opportunity, like being on the grid, but when we saw that that was impossible, the best option was Aston Martin“, commented the F2 champion.
“The ambition is quite high to make this driving program work. I am the first to do it and they are really keen to make it work, as am I,” says the English team’s new reserve driver.
His ambition is clear: to become a starter on the F1 grid. But for that he still has time. At least as long as Alonso lasts at Aston Martin. “I will work very hard to be on the grill some day“, Drugovich has sentenced.
