Aston Martin Confirm Star Withdrawal from Spanish Gp Race Due to Ongoing E…read more
Aston Martin has officially confirmed that one of their top drivers will not participate in the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix due to ongoing health concerns. The announcement came early Sunday, just days before the crucial race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, casting a shadow over the team’s preparations and performance expectations.
The driver, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed in the initial statement, has reportedly been battling persistent health issues over the past few weeks. Despite efforts to manage the condition and remain in contention for the race, medical advisors and team officials mutually agreed that withdrawal was the safest and most responsible course of action.
Aston Martin issued a statement expressing their full support for the driver’s recovery:
“While we are disappointed not to have our full driver lineup for this weekend, the health and well-being of our team members always comes first. We are working closely with medical professionals to ensure the driver receives the best possible care.”
Speculation is already mounting over who will replace the absent driver, with reserve and test driver Felipe Drugovich among the top candidates. Drugovich, the 2022 Formula 2 champion, has previously filled in during pre-season testing and is considered a strong contender to step in.
The timing is particularly challenging for Aston Martin, who are currently locked in a fierce midfield battle in the Constructors’ Championship. The loss of a key driver could impact their strategy and points haul during this vital phase of the season.
More details are expected as the race weekend approaches. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely for updates from the team and the FIA.
