About Felipe

Felipe was born in Maringá, Brazil, on 23rd of May 2000.

He is a professional racing driver and his goal is to become a Formula 1 driver.

The Drugovich family has always been involved in motor racing and, from there, Felipe's passion for motor sport arises. He currently lives in Italy, which is more convenient for travelling and racing throughout Europe.

Career

Felipe Drugovich began his journey in Brazilian karting in 2008, at just 8 years old, competing until he was 13. Between 2013 and 2015, he participated in international karting competitions, racing for renowned teams such as ART Grand Prix and Kosmic Racing, achieving excellent results.

In 2016, he debuted in formula cars, competing in the German Formula 4 Championship and the MRF Challenge, where he secured a victory in Dubai. The following year, he stood out by finishing 3rd in the German Formula 4 Championship, collecting 7 wins.

2018 was a defining year. Felipe became the champion of both the MRF Challenge and the Euroformula Open, with a record-breaking 14 wins out of 16 races, making him the most successful driver in the history of the category.

In the 2019 FIA Formula 3, he faced difficulties with the Carlin Buzz Racing car but continued to grow. In 2020, he made his Formula 2 debut with MP Motorsport, securing 3 impressive victories. The following year, he achieved his first pole position and two more victories, finishing 8th overall with Uni-Virtuosi.

In 2022, back with MP Motorsport, Felipe was crowned Formula 2 champion with 5 wins, becoming the first Brazilian to claim this title. In the same year, he was announced as the reserve driver for Aston Martin in Formula 1 for 2023.

Recently, Felipe competed in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) with Vector Sport. Although the results were not ideal, he aims to finish the season with a podium in the final race in Portugal. Additionally, Drugovich will replace Fernando Alonso in the free practice session at the Mexican GP, marking an important moment in his career as a test driver for Aston Martin.
