Roman Stanek will race for Trident in the 2023 FIA Formula 2 Championship, the team has confirmed.
Stanek spent the 2022 campaign with the Italian squad, competing for it in Formula 3. He took his first race win at the Imola Feature Race, and went on to score three further podiums during the season.
2022 marked his third year in F3, as he spent the 2020 and 2021 campaigns with Charouz and Hitech respectively.
“I’m very thrilled to be working with Trident again this year. I’m already at work with the team and Giacomo [Ricci, team manager], who is a great mentor to me, to achieve our goals together,” Stanek said.
“This is going to be a year full of challenges and I’m ready for it.”
Stanek will partner Clement Novalak for the upcoming year, and already gathered experience with its F2 set-up at the post-season test from the Yas Marina Circuit.
“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Roman Staněk and partner with him for his move to the FIA Formula 2 Championship, which is always a key step for a driver’s career,” Ricci said.
“I think that moving up within the same organisation is an important added value in terms of continuity.
“He knows the team very well, and we will be able to support him in the best possible way.
“Staněk had a remarkable 2022 season in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Trident Motorsport, and I think there are all the components that are needed to perform at a high level this year as well.”
