HISTORICAL FACTS: Aston martin to get f1 prospect race ready next year in intriguing driver lineup hint - The Untold Story

Aston Martin plan to make Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich "race ready" in 2023, in preparation for a future career in Formula 1.

The Brazilian is a highly-rated prospect, having won the F2 championship this year. However, as was the case with previous title-winner Oscar Piastri, there was no room for him in F1 for the season after becoming champion – and so the next step of his career is, for now, on hold.

Instead, Drugovich became the first member of Aston Martin's newly-established driver development programme. He will share reserve duties in 2023 alongside Formula E champion Stoffel Vandoorne, giving Aston Martin two strong options should they need a stand-in at short notice for whatever reason next year.
