Every racing driver dreams of driving a Formula One car. For Joshua Dürksen, that dream became reality in Portimão.
Our Development Driver completed his first-ever Formula One test in the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS W16, taking a major step forward in his journey and making history for Paraguay along the way.
Across two productive days, Joshua worked closely with the team, completed 187 laps, and experienced the pace, performance and precision of F1 machinery for the very first time.
As the first Paraguayan to drive a modern Formula One car, this moment is bigger than one driver. It's proof that talent can come from anywhere and a milestone that could inspire the next generation of racers back home.
Join Joshua as he takes the wheel and writes a new chapter for Paraguayan motorsport.
