Here is the news we were waiting for: the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Champion Ugo Ugochukwu is making the jump straight to FIA Formula 2 with Campos Racing for next season. It is a completely natural progression after a stellar title-winning campaign in F3, where the young American secured two victories and a total of seven podiums. That impressive run was more than enough to help Campos retain the coveted Teams' title.
That championship was just the crown jewel of an already exceptional 2026 for the driver, who also took home the Formula Regional Oceania Trophy at the very start of the year. When you look at the wider resume, the single-seater credentials are hard to ignore. We are talking about a driver who already conquered the 2023 Euro 4 Championship and added the prestigious 2024 Macau Grand Prix to his trophy cabinet.
Ugo is an exceptionally talented driver with enormous potential,
Now, the 19-year-old is officially locked in for his F2 debut in 2027, and he is staying right where he knows the garage. "Proud to announce I'll be staying with Campos Racing for the 2027 FIA Formula 2 season," Ugochukwu stated. "After winning the F3 Championship together, I'm ready to take the next step and fight for more success."
Campos Racing Team Principal Adrián Campos is clearly just as thrilled to keep this partnership rolling. "Ugo is an exceptionally talented driver with enormous potential," Campos said, highlighting the driver's work ethic and constant evolution behind the wheel. The team boss pointed out how Ugochukwu never stops learning and getting better, which is precisely the trait required when climbing the single-seater ladder.
Winning the FIA Formula 3 title on their very first season together was a massive milestone, but the team's optimism for 2027 is built on the sheer amount of progress made behind the scenes. F2 is a famously demanding championship, but the squad is putting full faith in his talent and their ongoing relationship to tackle this next big challenge together.
