Paul Aron will return to Formula 1 racing

At this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, Paul Aron will return to Formula 1 racing, this time with Alpine. 

Aron is still employed by Alpine as a test and reserve driver. But for his last two FP1 appearances this season, Aron was also on loan at Sauber. The Italian Grand Prix will be the Estonian's debut race with Alpine. After a fantastic season in Formula 2, where he was in the running for the championship until the very end, Aron joined the Alpine squad as the Anglo-French brand's backup driver. Although he isn’t racing in 2025, Aron does plenty of work behind the scenes for Alpine, including sim work in Enstone and reserve driver duties at the track. Speaking about the opportunity, Aron said: “I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the A525 for my first Grand Prix weekend appearance with the team in Monza.
