Ugo Ugochukwu will step up to Formula 2 next year with Campos Racing, the team he became FIA Formula 3 champion with.
The 19-year-old American won the 2026 FIA F3 Championship two months ago in a campaign which featured two victories and five other podiums.
He had joined Campos after coming 16th in the standings as a rookie with Prema the year before, two runner-up finishes his best results.
“Proud to announce I’ll be staying with Campos Racing for the 2027 F2 season,” said Ugochukwu. “After winning the F3 championship together, I’m ready to take the next step and fight for more success.”
Ugochukwu was a double champion in 2026, having claimed the Formula Regional Oceania title in February, and his major honours before this year were the 2023 E4 title in Formula 4 and the FRegional World Cup-awarding Macau Grand Prix in 2024.
“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,” Campos’s team principal Adrian Campos said.
“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 F3 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 F2 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.”
