Felipe Drugovich, the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Champion, started his preparations this week for his F1 debut that will take place later this year with Aston Martin.
The Brazilian was recruited recently by Team Silverstone as one of its reserve drivers and he'll take to the track with Aston in FP1 in Abu Dhabi and at F1's post-season test at Yas Marina.
But this week, Drugovich completed the first stage of his preparations as he underwent his all-important seat fitting at Aston's factory which was followed by a sim session.
First day on the job for @FelipeDrugovich!
