Felipe Drugovich, the reigning Formula 2 champion, has smoothly transitioned into the world of electric racing, marking a significant start to his new career chapter. The Brazilian driver made his Formula E debut last month on home soil at the Sao Paulo E-Prix, driving for the Andretti team. This professional milestone was followed by personal celebrations as he rang in the New Year with his girlfriend, Dr. Carla Sirotti, and close friends.
A Celebratory Start to 2026
As the calendar turned to 2026, Felipe Drugovich took to social media to share glimpses of his private celebrations. On Instagram, the Andretti racer posted two photos. The first was a group picture featuring his inner circle and his partner, Carla Sirotti. A second, more intimate photo showed just the couple together. Drugovich kept his caption succinct, simply writing "2026" to mark the new beginning.
In the images, the Formula E driver sported a casual look with a gray T-shirt and white pants. Carla Sirotti complemented him in a elegant white dress. The celebrations came after a period of significant achievement for Sirotti herself, who recently graduated from a Brazilian medical college in November 2025.
Dr. Sirotti's Graduation Milestone
While Drugovich was preparing for his racing debut, Carla Sirotti was celebrating her academic success. To mark the New Year, she also shared photos from her graduation photo shoot, which had taken place in November. One of the cherished images featured her posing proudly in her cap and gown alongside boyfriend Felipe Drugovich.
It appears the racing driver's commitments may have prevented him from attending the actual ceremony on November 19, 2025. Sirotti's caption for her family photos from the graduation day read, "19.11.25 – A special day." Drugovich later joined her for the photo shoot to commemorate the achievement. Reacting to her post with clear pride, the Andretti driver commented, "Owntt… orgulho," adding red heart and kiss-face emojis.
Promising Formula E Debut in Brazil
Professionally, Felipe Drugovich's move to Formula E has generated considerable excitement. His debut at the Sao Paulo E-Prix was notably strong. He initially crossed the finish line in an impressive fifth place, showcasing his adaptability from Formula 2 and his Formula 1 reserve role with Aston Martin. However, post-race penalties unfortunately demoted his final classification to 12th place.
Prior to the race weekend, Drugovich already made headlines by performing a historic promotional run. He drove the GEN3 Evo car on the runway at Sao Paulo International Airport, a unique event that captured the attention of motorsport fans globally.
Looking Ahead to Mexico City
The 2022 Formula 2 champion served as Aston Martin's reserve and development driver in Formula 1 from 2022 before making the full-time switch to the all-electric championship. With his debut now behind him, Drugovich's focus is firmly on the future. He will be aiming to secure his first championship points of the season at the upcoming Mexico City E-Prix on January 10.
This new journey in Formula E with Andretti represents a fresh challenge for the talented Brazilian, who has already demonstrated his speed and potential on his home circuit. Fans will be watching closely to see how his track relationship with electric power develops throughout the season.
