F2 transfer rumors for 2023
The ballet of Formula 2 driver announcements for 2023 has already begun. Let's take a look at the latest announcements and rumours.
For the moment, we already have five drivers confirmed for next year.
Dennis Hauger, the Formula 3 2021 champion, has signed with the 2022 champion team, MP Motorsport.
Prema has already announced its driver duo, which will consist of Oliver Bearman and Frederik Vesti. Vesti previously competed for Prema in the 2020 F3 season and also in Formula Europe in 2019.
We will also have a new arrival in Formula 2 next year, in the person of Arthur Leclerc. The Monegasque will join the French team Dams.
Ralph Boschung is renewed in the Campos team.
Update on current rumors:
According to our colleagues at Auto Hebdo and our information, here are the possibilities for next year.
Without surprise, Victor Martins will go to ART GP. It is possible, in the end, that Théo Pourchaire may backtrack and have a third season in the French team. However, there have been discussions with the American Juan Manuel Correa and probably other drivers.
Another Frenchman will join Formula 2, it’s the young Isack Hadjar who would move up to the next level, still with Hitech GP. His teammate will also be his comrade in the Red Bull Junior Team: Jak Crawford.
For MP Motorsport, Jehan Daruvala would already have signed with the Dutch team. The Prema duo for 2022 will be reunited.
Dams will keep Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa in their ranks.
At Carlin, the Formula 2 journey for the current duo Lawson / Sargeant is coming to an end. Liam Lawson is expected to depart for Japan. The future duo (very promising) will consist of Zane Maloney (F3 Vice-Champion and Rookie of the Year) and Enzo Fittipaldi. The Brazilian was also in talks with MP Motorsport.
“Virtuosi should keep its current duo, Jack Doohan and Marino Sato.”
For the Trident team, Roman Stanek (fifth in F3) will stay with Trident at the higher level. Alongside him will be the Frenchman Clément Novalak.
Nothing concrete regarding the new team since this year Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR). It is likely to see Juan Manuel Correa in one of their race cars next year. Amaury Cordeel could very well keep his seat.
There is one seat left at Campos, which should be assigned to Kush Maini, a driver at MP Motorsport in Formula 3.
The team Trident has hired Israeli Roy Nissany and American driver Brad Benavides for the end-of-season tests in Abu Dhabi.
The game of musical chairs has begun!
