Enzo Fittipaldi has made the switch to Van Amersfoort Racing for the 2024 FIA Formula 2 season for his third full season in the series.
The Brazillian driver, a member of the Red Bull Junior Team, joins the Dutch outfit, having enjoyed his best season to date in 2023 with the Rodin Carlin squad.
Fittipaldi secured a maiden F2 victory in the Spa-Francorchamps Sprint race and secured a further four podiums to finish seventh overall in the Drivers’ Standings.
After getting his first taste of working within the VAR setup during the post-season Abu Dhabi test, Fittipaldi is delighted to work with the team during the 2024 season.
“I am very excited to be a part of Van Amersfoort Racing,” said Fittipaldi in a VAR statement.
“The team and I had a positive first experience working together during the F2 post-season test in Abu Dhabi last week.
“Right now, I am looking forward to next season, which will be a new challenge for all.
“Racing in the new 2024 F2 cars will be exciting, and I am confident that the team and I will have a great season together.”
Van Amersfoort Racing’s Team Principal Frits van Amersfoort also expressed his delight with the new signing to the outfit.
“During the F2 post-season test, we have experienced that Enzo is a great character to work with,” van Amersfoort added.
“He is a great fit for our team, and his experience in F2 will be beneficial as we head into a new era of Formula 2. We’re thrilled to have him on board and look forward to the upcoming season together.”
Fittipaldi’s racing career began in 2016 and he experienced his first title success in 2018, with Championship victories in the Italian F4 series to go along with third in the ADAC F4 Championship.
In 2019, Fittipaldi secured second in the standings in the Formula Regional European Championship, before making the jump to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2020.
Partway through 2021, Fittipaldi progressed up to Formula 2 with Charouz Racing System, before committing to full seasons in the series in 2022 and ’23.
Fittipaldi and VAR’s 2024 F2 14-round campaign will get underway in Bahrain on February 29 – March 02.
