Cadillac F1 hopeful Felipe Drugovich is wary of how many drivers
the new outfit is speaking to, ahead of its entry next season.
Drugovich is yet to compete in the pinnacle of motorsport, and has
been Aston Martin's reserve since winning the 2022 Formula 2 title.
The Brazilian has made several first practice appearances, and also
replaced Lance Stroll for pre-season testing ahead of the 2023
campaign. His competitive world championship single-seater debut
will be made in this weekend's Formula E Berlin E-Prix, but his
goal remains F1. When asked by RacingNews365 if racing in F1
remains a possibility, Drugovich answered: "It's difficult to know,
to be fair. I mean, at this point, we're obviously trying to see
what opportunities there are for next year. "That could or could
not be something for next year, but at the same time, I need to
have something else that would get me racing for the whole year.
"Something that I could really focus on and not just be looking for
opportunities here and there for stand-in races. So it's, something
that I'm looking for." Drugovich is one of several names being
considered by Cadillac, a list which includes both Valtteri Bottas
and Sergio Perez. The Aston Martin reserve confirmed the 11th F1
team is an option, although doubts his chances given the length of
Cadillac's list of possible drivers. "Yeah, it is an option,"
confirmed Drugovich. "But at the same time, again, it's very hard
as they're talking to many, many drivers. "And yeah, I would
obviously wish to be there, and I would love to be there racing,
and that's my dream, and I'm trying to be there. "But at the same
time, there is racing outside of F1 as well. There's a life outside
of f1 so we need to wait and see a little bit."
