Aston Martin confirm Bahrain test plan after Stroll injury

How will Aston Martin's preparations be affected?

Aston Martin has confirmed Felipe Drugovich will share driving duties with Fernando Alonso at the Bahrain pre-season test.

The Silverstone-based team's preparations for the new F1 season took a hit with the news that Lance Stroll would be absent after sustaining injuries in a minor cycling accident in Spain.

But reigning F2 champion and Aston Martin academy driver Drugovich will split duties with new recruit and two-time champion Alonso at the Bahrain International Circuit when running begins on Thursday.
