Ugo Ugochukwu to race for Campos in 2027 Formula 2

Ugo Ugochukwu will make his Formula 2 debut with Campos Racing in 2027, staying with the Spanish team that took him to the FIA Formula 3 title. The 19-year-old American won twice and stood on the podium seven times in 2026, helping Campos retain the F3 teams’ championship as well.

“After winning the F3 Championship together, I’m ready to take the next step and fight for more success,” Ugochukwu said when the move was announced. Campos team principal Adrián Campos pointed to the American’s progress over their first season together as a reason for optimism ahead of his F2 debut.

From the Madrid title decider to Formula 2

Ugochukwu won the opening feature race in Melbourne and took his second victory in the Silverstone sprint. He still arrived at the Madrid finale trailing Freddie Slater by 15 points, but his comeback at the Madring brought the pair level before the final race. Ugochukwu finished second behind Tuukka Taponen that Sunday to seal the championship by 14 points and give Campos its first FIA F3 drivers’ title.

It was his second title of the year after winning the Formula Regional Oceania Trophy. He also won the Euro 4 Championship in 2023 and the Macau Grand Prix in 2024.

The move brings the two drivers from the 2026 F3 title fight back onto the same grid. Slater will race for Invicta Racing in 2027, with the Formula 2 season due to open in Bahrain in March.
