Ugo Ugochukwu will step up to Formula 2 next season, maintaining his successful partnership with Campos Racing. The 19-year-old American driver advances to the feeder series' top category following a triumphant campaign where he clinched the FIA Formula 3 Championship title.
Ugochukwu's path to the F3 crown demonstrated exceptional maturity and consistency. Operating under the Campos banner, the New Yorker spearheaded the championship battle by securing two victories alongside five additional podium finishes across a memorable campaign.
The title triumph represented a remarkable turnaround for the young driver. During his rookie F3 campaign the previous year with Prema, Ugochukwu endured a steep learning curve, ending 16th in the standings with two runner-up finishes as his best results.
Looking ahead to the next stage of his single-seater career, Ugochukwu expressed enthusiasm for the challenge. "Proud to announce I’ll be staying with Campos Racing for the F2 season," stated Ugochukwu. "After winning the F3 championship together, I’m ready to take the next step and fight for more success."
The American's track record highlights a rapid rise through the junior ranks. Prior to his F3 championship victory, Ugochukwu claimed the Formula Regional Oceania title earlier in the year, adding to previous achievements including the 2023 Euro4 Championship title and victory at the 2024 Macau Grand Prix.
Campos Racing team principal Adrian Campos praised the driver's relentless work ethic and development curve. "Ugo is an exceptionally talented driver with enormous potential. Since we started working together, we have been able to see his ability, professionalism and, above all, his continuous improvement first-hand," Campos noted.
Campos expressed strong optimism regarding their upcoming transition to Formula 2. "Winning the FIA F3 title in our first season together is a fantastic achievement. We know how demanding this championship is, but we firmly believe in his talent and his ability to keep progressing as we tackle this new challenge together," he concluded.
