As Motorsport.com España reports, Campos Racing has secured its prized asset for the future. The Spanish squad has locked in Ugo Ugochukwu to make the jump to Formula 2 in 2027 without changing teams, extending a partnership that has already delivered two titles in Formula 3.
The 19-year-old American from New York is heading straight to the Formula 1 support series after putting together a campaign featuring two wins and seven podiums. That balance came down to sheer consistency. Campos handed him the tools, and Ugochukwu delivered a championship in his very first season with the Alzira-based structure.
Winning the Formula 3 title in our first season together is a fantastic achievement and reflects both his ability and his dedication to continuously improving.
Standing nearly two meters tall, the American is hard to miss in the paddock. Yet this year he made headlines through his raw pace rather than how he squeezes into the cockpit. Before tackling F3, he claimed the Formula Regional Oceania title, adding to a CV that already boasts the 2023 Euro 4 crown and the prestigious 2024 Macau Grand Prix.
"I'm proud to announce that I will continue with Campos Racing for the 2027 Formula 2 season," Ugochukwu said. "After winning the F3 championship together, I'm ready to take the next step and fight for more success."
Team boss Adrián Campos sees immense potential in keeping the relationship going. "Ugo is an exceptionally talented driver who has shown massive progression since we started working together," he explained. "Winning the Formula 3 title in our first season together is a fantastic achievement and reflects both his ability and his dedication to continuously improving."
Continuity arrives while Campos enjoys a sweet spell. Alongside the F3 success, the Spanish outfit leads the Formula 2 teams' standings and fields Nikola Tsolov in second place among the drivers. For Ugochukwu, the upcoming F2 challenge also arrives after his stint in the McLaren young driver program ended in November 2025. With Cadillac eyeing an American driver for the future—while Colton Herta faces doubts over an F2 transition—the stage is set for Ugochukwu to prove his worth on the final step before Formula 1, backed by the team that already knows how to unlock his speed.
