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

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.
