Lando Norris (McLaren): Entering the 2027 Formula 2 Championship with his own team

Good news for Formula 1 champion Lando Norris ahead of the Grand Prix weekend in Mexico: it has been confirmed that the McLaren star’s new team – LN4 Fusion – will compete in the 2027 Formula 2 Championship. LN4 Fusion is the only new entrant for the upcoming three-year cycle in Formula 2.

This makes it clear: LN4 Fusion offers a complete ladder for young drivers in motorsport – Formula 4, Formula 3, Formula 2. Participation in F4 and F3 was already confirmed in September, but Norris had to submit an application for F2. LN4 Fusion will compete using the assets of the former AIX team.

Bruno Michel, the French managing director of Formula 2, said: “We received a great deal of interest from teams all over the world for this new three-year cycle, which underlines the strength and appeal of our championship. We have retained ten of our current teams, who have consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating the best possible environment for young drivers to prepare for Formula 1.”

“I am now delighted to welcome LN4 Fusion. They will bring considerable expertise to the table, and I am confident that they will make a valuable contribution to the championship.”

LN4 CEO Dan Richards: “We are incredibly proud to have been accepted into the FIA Formula 2 field for 2027. This is a significant milestone for LN4 Fusion and an important step towards realising the vision we set out when we launched the team in September.”

“From the very beginning, our aim has been to build a competitive, sustainable motorsport organisation that offers a clear development pathway for drivers and creates an environment in which talented people can thrive. Formula 2 is central to this objective and represents the final and arguably most demanding step on the path to Formula 1.”

“Securing a place in the championship so soon after the launch of LN4 Fusion is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work of everyone involved in bringing this project together.”

“However, this is only the beginning. We recognise the level of competition in Formula 2 and the challenge that lies ahead. Our focus is now firmly on laying the right foundations, surrounding ourselves with exceptional people, and giving our drivers and the team the best possible opportunity to compete at the highest level.”
