PREMA Racing confirm the signing of Louis Sharp for the 2026 season

PREMA Racing have confirmed that Louis Sharp will be driving for the team in 2026 – completing their driver lineup following the announcements of Enzo Deligny and James Wharton.

Sharp is returning for a second campaign in Formula 3 after achieving several points finishes in his rookie season, on his way to finishing 26th in the Drivers' Championship.

Prior to that, the 18-year-old achieved back-to-back title winning campaigns, securing both the 2023 British F4 and 2024 GB3 Championships.

The New Zealand driver will now return for another season in F3, and at the announcement, Sharp spoke of his delight at the opportunity to race for PREMA.

"I'm very, very happy and excited for next season," said Sharp. "PREMA has a very rich history of winning championships and developing drivers for Formula 1.

"To be able to say that I'm going to be a PREMA driver next year makes me proud, and already working with the team, I can see how motivated they are and how much they want to win. I'm really looking forward to having a strong season with them. I'm really proud to be here."

PREMA Racing Team Principal Rene Rosin also said: “We think Louis is a really promising racer. He achieved great success at a very young age and showed that there is more to come from him. We are confident he will merge with the team well from the start and that he will be a great fit with how we operate. He has the potential to achieve impressive results in his second year in the series, and we are determined to maximize that potential as soon as possible.”
