“I think it helps me: most of the places that maybe there is an available seat, I think they are free of junior drivers.' Formula 2 championship leader Felipe Drugovich is aiming for an F1 reserve role in 2023 ⬇️
The MP Motorsport driver currently leads the standings by 43 points from Theo Pourchaire, who is a member of Sauber’s junior academy.
While many F1 teams have junior academies to call on for reserve drivers, such as Liam Lawson at Red Bull and AlphaTauri, some, including McLaren, do not have that option. Speaking after finishing second in the Spa feature race, he said: “I see my future… I mean, somehow I’m going to be able to drive something next year.“It might happen like Nyck [de Vries], I think getting to F1 nowadays is very very difficult and it’s looking like the opportunities for a main seat in F1 next year are obviously very limited.
Drugovich added: “I think talking about F1, to be fair obviously we try to contact every team we can and see what they say.“That’s looking more towards a reserve seat, I don’t know, we have to see, but we need to keep looking at it and meanwhile we have to score the results and that’s something that might help me to get a seat.
