LN4 Fusion has confirmed its intention to enter the team application process for the FIA Formula 2 Championship, targeting a place on the grid in 2027.
The organisation, co-founded by 2025 Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris, has acquired selected assets of AIX Racing and will now begin the procedures required to apply for an entry in the next three-year Formula 2 cycle, which will run from 2027 to 2029. The move adds a competitive junior single-seater programme to Norris’s wider plans for driver development.
The announcement follows the launch of the LN4 Fusion team and its driver development ambitions, which are explored in Lando Norris launches LN4 Fusion team and fully funded driver programme. Norris himself came through FIA Formula 2 before reaching Formula 1 and winning the World Championship last year.
LN4 Fusion has appointed Rene Rosin as Team Principal, while Guillaume Capietto will serve as Racing Director across the team’s wider operation.
Norris said the project was shaped by his own experience of progressing through junior motorsport and by the support he received along the way.
“I’ve been really lucky to have some amazing people around me throughout my career, and I know that getting to Formula 1 takes so much more than just talent. You need the right people around you, the right support and the right opportunities at the right time.”
He added that LN4 Fusion would focus on creating a strong race team and environment for driver development, while the LN4 Legacy Programme would help talented young drivers access opportunities they might otherwise miss.
“For me, they naturally fit together. I want to help create opportunities for the next generation, both on and off the track, and hopefully make a real difference to young drivers coming through the sport,” Norris said.
FIA Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel welcomed Norris’s interest, noting that he is the first F2 graduate to become a Formula 1 World Champion. The proposed application would cover the 2027–2029 cycle rather than confirm an automatic place on the grid.
Rosin said the project would combine independent sporting direction, long-term backing and the resources needed to build the programme properly. His stated focus will be the racing operation: developing the sporting structure, establishing the technical environment and helping LN4 Fusion become competitive.
“We want to develop a pathway through junior single-seaters and create an environment in which drivers, engineers and sporting personnel can perform at the highest level,” Rosin said.
