Jak Crawford will drive for Aston Martin in FP1 at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix then the Young Drivers’ Test in post season.
Crawford first drove in a F1 FP1 session in Mexico at end of October and will again replace Lance Stroll for the opening practice session at the season finale around the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on 5 December.
Aston Martin have also confirmed that that 20 year-old American will drive for the team in the post-season Young Drivers’ Test at the same venue on 9 December, with Crawford “thrilled” to be back in the car in Abu Dhabi.
“I’m thrilled to get back behind the wheel of the AMR25 for the second time this season. I’ve spent a lot of time in the simulator at the AMR Technology Campus this year, and being able to translate that work onto the track is incredibly rewarding.
“Mexico was a huge learning experience for me and I’m looking forward to continuing that development in both the FP1 session and the Young Driver Test.”
Aston Martin’s CEO and Team Principal, Andy Cowell added: “It’s fantastic to see Jak back in the car so soon after Mexico. Building mileage in the car and maintaining momentum is exactly what we aim for in developing our young drivers.
“This session in Abu Dhabi will be an important step as he prepares for his new role as Third Driver next year, and we’re excited to continue supporting his growth.”
