Jak Crawford will be the Aston Martin Formula 1 Team's reserve driver for the 2026 season, even though the F2 season is still in progress.
Since 2024, Crawford has participated in the team's Young Driver Development Program and has driven more than 2000 kilometres in Formula 1 cars, including last year's Abu Dhabi post-season test.
At the Mexico City Grand Prix last weekend, the American driver made his Formula One race weekend debut by taking over the Lance Stroll AMR25 during the first practice session at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Crawford is presently ranked second in the standings in the FIA Formula 2 championship, but there are still two rounds left in the season, with the events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi marking its conclusion.
Being officially announced as the Third Driver for 2026 makes me extremely proud. It is a significant turning point in my career with Aston Martin Aramco and a strong incentive to keep growing and learning," Crawford said.
"Being in the Formula 1 atmosphere, both at the factory and trackside, has taught me a lot over the last two seasons. I will be doing all in my power to help the team and keep improving as a driver.
"It is fantastic to see Jak advance to become our Third Driver for 2026," commented Andy Cowell, Team Principal at Aston Martin, in response to the announcement.
He has demonstrated his worth as a vital member of our driver squad over the last two years, accumulating a substantial amount of test mileage and experience.
After completing frequent sessions at the AMR Technology Campus to support our racing operations and car development, Jak has demonstrated impressive performance in the simulator. We are thrilled to keep helping Jak develop as he assumes a larger position because of his amazing results in Formula 2.
DODGERS AND BLUE JAYS PREPARE FOR DECISIVE WORLD SERIES GAME 7
The World Series is down to a winner-take-all Game 7 after the Dodgers forced a finale with a dramatic 3-1 win. The Blue Jays will start Max Scherzer against a Dodgers team ready to use all hands on deck.

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the championship-chasing Toronto Blue Jays promised to be prepared for the first World Series game seven since 2019.
After the Dodgers' 3-1 victory in a close game six, when the home team's hopes were eventually dashed by a magnificent game-ending double play in the bottom of the ninth inning, Toronto's Rogers Centre is sure to be electrifying.
In a thrilling final inning that featured a ground rule double by Addison Barger that wedged beneath the lower edge of the outfield wall, the Blue Jays had the tying runs in scoring position.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider stated that it would take some time to sort of unpack it. "What a crazy conclusion. However, we will be prepared to play tomorrow.
The Blue Jays are attempting to win their first championship since winning back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993, capping an incredible comeback from last place in the American League East division in 2024.
They defeated the New York Yankees in the AL division series after defeating them in the division title, and they overcame a 0–2 deficit to defeat the Seattle Mariners in the AL championship series.
They won the next two games and took a 3-2 series lead home after overcoming a heartbreaking 18-inning loss in game three in Los Angeles, but they missed their first opportunity to seal the deal.
They will have to contend with everything the reigning champion Dodgers have to offer on Saturday.
After sending projected game seven starter Tyler Glasnow in to make the save on Friday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated, "I am not sure the pitching scenario, but (Tyler) Glasnow will be available."
Shohei Ohtani, a two-way star, will be used on the mound, according to Roberts, but he had not yet decided how.
Roberts, whose club is attempting to become the first repeat champs since the Yankees won in 1998, 1999, and 2000, stated, "There are a lot of things that people have not done, so you just have to trust your teammates and try to win a baseball game." This is game seven.
"We will let it go out there. I do not believe that we will be able to handle the pressure at this time.
Max Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, will take the mound for the Blue Jays. When the Nationals defeated the Houston Astros in the final World Series game seven, Scherzer began for Washington.
"Game seven is one of the greatest phrases in sports," Schneider stated. "There is not a better person to have on the mound to sort of handle the feelings and whatnot."
MEXICO GP CONTROVERSY: LEWIS HAMILTON CRITICIZES PENALTY, VERSTAPPEN REMAINS UNMOVED
Lewis Hamilton was hit with a 10-second penalty in Mexico, costing him a podium and sparking his "double standards" claim after Max Verstappen escaped punishment for a similar off-track move earlier in the race.

Verstappen dismisses Lewis Hamilton's criticism of "double standards" in the Mexico penalty, saying, "Same for everyone."
Mexico City was seething when Lewis Hamilton left. For leaving the track and maintaining position during the early altercation with Max Verstappen, the Ferrari driver received a 10-second time penalty, which he called "double standards." What did Verstappen say? A shrug. "That is racing. For everyone, it is the same.
At the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, when Turn 1 became the typical sliding problem, there was a clumsy opening before the flashpoint. The bunch worked itself out with little fuss and no early penalties after Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, Hamilton, and Verstappen all crowded in. Leclerc and Verstappen then took to the escape road and rejoined.
The actual altercation started after six laps. Verstappen sped into Turn 1 down Hamilton's inside. The Red Bull skipped across the grass at the chicane and returned ahead of them as they ran side by side. After trying the long route, locking the front-right, and straight-lining it himself, Hamilton countered into Turn 4, cutting the grass and rejoining just ahead of Verstappen.
The stewards concluded that Hamilton had gained a permanent advantage by leaving the circuit. What would have been a well-earned podium was destroyed by the 10-second penalty that was imposed following the yellow, dropping him to eighth place.
"It is been really annoying," Hamilton admitted to DAZN. "I started well; I kept on course and got up to second in Turns 1, 2, and 3, but I ended up in third place for some reason, and no one was penalised for cutting the track there. Max cut Turn 3 as well, but nothing occurred.
When I left, I had to drive through the grass since my tyres were so filthy that I would not be able to turn the corner. In the end, I received a 10-second [penalty] after asking on the radio if I needed to let anyone through for gaining an advantage. It is what it is.
Hamilton continued, accusing the ruling of "double standards" and stating that he felt "let down by the governing body."
A further twist that would have delayed the process of giving the slot back right away was that Oliver Bearman, a rookie for Haas, managed to get by Verstappen in the confusion. Any give-back would have essentially resulted in the surrender of two spots rather than one. This is a subtlety that teams and drivers usually consider at the time, and it can quickly become expensive if Race Control does not provide clear, real-time instructions.
For his part, Verstappen saw no inconsistency or collusion. He said to DAZN, "That is racing." It is what we are able to do while adhering to the rules. We are permitted to do so by the stewards. Since I have experienced it myself, why should I not be permitted to do the same? For everyone, it is the same.
This was Mexico's microcosmic tightrope. The escape lanes entice cars to play the dice and figure things out later, while the opening complex welcomes optimism and elbows. Although the law's letter is straightforward—if you leave the track and obtain a permanent advantage, you are in trouble—enforcing it in practice is still a murky area that contributes to weekends like this one. Teams may or may not be instructed to return it right away, and the hammer may or may not drop following the cool-down lap.
It makes sense that Hamilton is frustrated. Seeing others use the escape route with no apparent repercussions made him feel as though he had played fairly in the first altercation. He was then penalised with interest and lost a podium after his own lock-up forced him to grass-track. Verstappen's perspective is as clear: push the boundaries if it is there, and accept any sanctions as a necessary part of the game.
This will be felt by Ferrari. Even if the rules support it, the optics of dropping five spots due to a post-race time drop never sit well. Hamilton had the pace to make the afternoon less attritional. Although it is not crucial on its own, every point counts now, and Red Bull leaves with a little more momentum and Verstappen a little closer in the race for the championship.
The larger dilemma remains: should we continue to allow the stewards to call balls and strikes after the fact, or should Race Control referee every skirmish live with quick swaps? For years, drivers have made it plain that they appreciate transparency, even if they do not always agree with the response. When the walls shut in at Turn 1, Mexico provided yet another example of why that clarity still seems elusive.
