Brazilian Felipe Drogovic, the most likely contender for this year’s Formula 2 Championship, is said to have not been contacted by Formula 1. His age doesn’t seem to be an obstacle, rather the reason for his lack of interest may be that it took him so long to stand out from the F2 field.
It seems that last year’s Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastre will not get a place in the Formula 1 arena after a year of his success. Brazilian Felipe Drogovic leads by 43 points over Theo Borshire, with six races left in the championship on three tracks.
