If not Carlos Sainz, then whom for Williams in F1 2025?
Aston Martin reserve driver Felipe Drugovich could emerge as the “favourite” to race for Williams in F1 2025 if the team fail to land “number-one target” Carlos Sainz , it has been claimed.over recent weeks, with team principal James Vowles confirming at the recent Canadian Grand Prix that the outgoing Ferrari driver is his “number-one target.
Speaking to media including PlanetF1.com after the race in Barcelona, Sainz teased that an announcement on his F1 2025 plans finally “could be” made ahead of this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.has claimed Drugovich – as well as current Sauber driver Valtteri Bottas – could emerge as a serious contender to replace Logan Sargeant if a deal for Sainz cannot be completed.
The Brazilian, who brings significant financial backing, has held the role of reserve driver at Aston Martin since 2022, making a number of FP1 appearances and participating in pre-season testing in Bahrain in F1 2023 after Lance Stroll was ruled out through injury. After Williams announced last month that Alex Albon had signed a multi-year contract extension to remain with the team until at least the end of F1 2026, Sargeant is increasingly likely to be dropped at the end of 2024 having scored just a single point since arriving on the grid last year.
