Felipe Drugovich, their reserve driver, will drive at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix if Lance Stroll remains unavailabl🦋e.

Stroll is injured with a wrist problem and missed preseason testing ꧅in Bahrain, when it emerged that♏ the retired Vettel was a surprise option to replace him.

Four-time champion V🌼ettel retired at the end of 2022 but had offered himse🎶lf to Aston Martin, who he drove for last year, as a replacement for Stroll, Sky had reported.

Mike Krack, the Aston Martin boss, refused to rule out the ಌpossibility.

But on Sunday they ꧒clarified: “The team will continue to give Lance everyꦍ chance to race, pending recovery from his injury. Should he not be fit to compete, then Felipe will drive the AMR23 alongside Fernando Alonso.”
