Ugo Ugochukwu to race in Formula 2 with Campos in 2027
Ugo Ugochukwu will move up to Formula 2 in 2027 and stay with Campos Racing, the team he raced for in Formula 3.
The 19-year-old New Yorker is the reigning Formula 3 champion, after winning the title with Campos in 2026.
He finished 14 points ahead of Britain’s Freddie Slater, with two wins and seven podium finishes during the season.
The move follows a difficult first Formula 3 season, when he finished 16th with PREMA.
Formula 2 is the next step on his route toward Formula 1, though the sources do not say when or whether he will reach F1.
Staying with Campos gives the driver and team continuity as they prepare for a demanding new championship.
His height, about 192 centimetres, may also pose a challenge when fitting into a future F1 cockpit.
