Felipe Drugovich, their reserve driver, will drive at the F1 Bahra꧙in Grand Prix if Lance Stroll remains u﷽navailable.

Stroll is injured with a wrist problem and missed preseason testing in Bahrain, when it emerged that the retired V𝕴ettel was a surprise opti🔯on to replace him.

Four-time champion Vettel retired at th𒁏e end of 2022 but had offere🅰d himself to Aston Martin, who he drove for last year, as a replacement for Stroll, Sky had reported.

Mik💜e Krack, the Aston Martin boss, refused to rule out the possibility.

But on Sunday they clarified: “The team will continue to give Lance every chance to race, pending recovery from his injury. Should he not 🥀be fit to compete, then Felipe will drive the AMR23 alongside Fernando Alonso.”
