Noah Stromsted has been announced as Invicta Racing’s second driver for the 2027 Formula 2 season, joining his 2026 Formula 3 team-mate Freddie Slater.
The Danish driver moves up from F3 after two seasons racing for the Italian Trident team for whom he took two victories.
The 19-year-old claimed his maiden F3 win in the sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps in his impressive rookie year, ultimately finishing sixth in the championship although he was comfortably outscored by his fellow rookie team-mate, Rafael Camara.
Stromsted had joined the Mercedes-AMG F1 junior programme at the start of 2025 although he and the team parted ways at the end of that year.
He remained with Trident for what proved to be a disappointing second season in 2026. Despite his feature race win at the Red Bull Ring Stromsted slumped to 10th in the standings, 80 points behind championship runner up Slater, as Trident appeared to lose some of the pace advantage it had enjoyed in 2024 and 2025.
Announcing the move, Stromsted commented that he had “learned a great deal competing in FIA F3 since 2024 and I feel ready to take on the next challenge in my career. Over the past few seasons, Invicta Racing has established itself as the performance benchmark on the F2 grid and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone in the team.
“I can’t wait to start preparing for 2027 and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together.”
James Robinson, team principal of Invicta Racing, expressed his delight at Noah’s arrival saying, “FIA F3 is one of the most competitive categories in junior single-seater motorsport and, after following his progress closely, we believe that Noah has all the qualities to be a future champion, so we’re very much looking forward to helping him make the step up to Formula 2.”
“With Noah and Freddie [Slater] working alongside each other, I’m very excited to see what we can achieve.”
