Aston Martin have confirmed that their third driver, Jak Crawford will participate in another Free Practice 1 outing for the team at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
Crawford has made two FP1 appearances so far in 2026 – having gotten behind the wheel of Fernando Alonso’s car in Japan, before driving in place of Lance Stroll more recently in Austria – while he also experienced two runs for the team in the latter stages of the 2025 season.
For the American’s third session of the season – which will also fulfil Aston Martin’s third rookie practice run of the four that each team is required to complete during the campaign – Alonso will step aside to allow Crawford to drive the AMR26.
Crawdord has also taken part in testing for Aston Martin, which included a recent Pirellli tyre test in Barcelona during June.
Prior to taking on his third driver role at the team, Crawford ended the 2025 Formula 2 Championship in second place, having collected four wins and eight podiums with DAMS Lucas Oil.
