Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team has confirmed that Young Driver Jak Crawford will make his Formula One weekend debut in Free Practice One at the Mexico City Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Texan will drive the AMR25 in FP1 at the Aut\u00f3dromo Hermanos Rodr\u00edguez before Lance Stroll returns to the car for FP2. The session marks one of the team’s mandated rookie outings this season, providing valuable data while supporting the development of young talent.<\/p>\n

Jak Crawford, Young Driver, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, said:<\/p>\n

“I’m thrilled to drive the AMR25 in Mexico for my first official Formula One session. I’ve worked closely with the team all year, so to now take the next step and get track time on a Grand Prix weekend is really exciting. Announcing this in Texas, where I’m from, makes it even more special after a busy week with the team and Aramco in Houston.” <\/p>\n

“It’s fantastic to give Jak the opportunity to take part in FP1 in Mexico. He’s shown real maturity and provided strong technical feedback throughout the year, and these sessions are an important part of how we develop young talent. <\/p>\n

“Jak has had a strong season in Formula 2 and has been a key contributor to the development of both the AMR25 and AMR26. This is a great chance for him to continue progressing while helping us gather valuable data.”<\/p>\n
