Formula 1 champion Lando Norris: In F2 next year with his own team

Just under two months ago, Formula 1 champion Lando Norris unveiled the ‘LN4 Fusion’ project, a junior team he has set up in collaboration with an investment group. Even then, the McLaren star emphasised that LN4 Fusion was set to compete not only in Italian Formula 4, Formula Regional Europe and Formula 3, but also in Formula 2.

It was reported at the time that the necessary process had been set in motion; now Formula 2 has announced the line-up for 2027, thereby confirming that Norris and his colleagues have been successful. LN4 Fusion will be competing in the top junior series alongside the teams Art Grand Prix, Campos Racing, DAMS, Hitech, Invicta Racing, MP Motorsport, Prema Racing, Rodin Motorsport, Trident and Van Amersfoort Racing.

LN4 Fusion: Familiar names in the team management

Formula 2 Managing Director Bruno Michel says: “We have seen great interest in this new three-year cycle from teams all over the world, which underlines the strength and appeal of our championship. We have retained ten of our current teams, which have time and again demonstrated their commitment to providing young drivers with the best possible environment to prepare for Formula 1.”

“I am also delighted to welcome LN4 Fusion to the grid. The team will bring a wealth of expertise to the table, and I am confident that it will make a valuable contribution to the championship,” adds the Frenchman. Indeed, there are some well-known names in the team’s management: for instance, at the helm is Rene Rosin, a manager with around 40 years’ experience in motorsport. Dan Hazlewood heads up operations in the UK. In recent years, he has successfully led the Fusion Motorsport Karting team.

Separately from LN4 Fusion, Norris launched the “LN4 Legacy Programme” in early September. This is a fully funded driver development programme run by ADD Management. Julian Rouse is at the helm.
