Aston Martin's Brazilian Formula One reserve driver Felipe Drugovich will race for Andretti Global in Formula E from December, the electric race team said on Wednesday.
The series' 12th season starts in Sao Paulo on December 6, the same weekend as Formula One's final round at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina, with Drugovich to be released from his Aston Martin role before then.
The 25-year-old has been an F1 reserve since he won the Formula Two title in 2022 and has supported race regulars Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, who are both contracted to Aston Martin for 2026.
Although he has taken part in practice sessions, Drugovich has not been needed as a race stand-in and is now set to be released before the end of the Formula One season.
