2026 Champion Ugo Ugochukwu steps up to Formula 2 with Campos Racing for 2027

2026 Champion Ugo Ugochukwu has confirmed his plans for 2027, as he will step up to Formula 2 with Campos Racing next season.

The American driver won this year’s title at the final round in Madrid, winning two races, including seven podiums in total across the year.

Ugochukwu boasts an impressive record in single seaters, having also won the Formula Regional Oceania Trophy at the beginning of the year and also the 2025 Macau Grand Prix.

The 19-year-old will now step up to F2 with Campos, having helped the Spanish outfit retain the Formula 3 Teams’ title this season.

Speaking at the announcement, Ugochukwu was happy to be continuing with the team given the success they shared in 2026.

“Proud to announce I’ll be staying with Campos Racing for the 2027 FIA Formula 2 season,” said Ugochukwu. “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 also added: “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. He is a driver who never stops learning and getting better, and that is essential when taking the next steps in a racing career. Winning the FIA Formula 3 title in our first season together is a fantastic achievement, but so is all the work behind that success and the progress he has made throughout the year.

“We are very pleased with the relationship we have built and the way we have developed together. That is why we approach his FIA Formula 2 debut in 2027 with great optimism. We know how demanding this championship is, but we firmly believe in his talent and his ability to keep progressing. We are looking forward to continuing to support him through this new challenge and working together to help him take another important step in his career.”
