F2 chief executive Bruno Michel expects the 2027–29 team list within about a month to a month and a half. Lando Norris’s LN4 Fusion has applied for a licence, and Michel says F2 will keep its team count unchanged.

F2 chief executive Bruno Michel expects the series to name its teams for 2027–29 within about a month to a month and a half. Lando Norris’s LN4 Fusion has applied for an F2 licence, and Michel says its request is being considered like any other.

LN4 Fusion launched in early September and took over AIX Racing’s assets. The team has an F3 entry through the end of 2027, with Gabriel Gomez and James Egozi confirmed as drivers. Norris says he wants to give drivers an opportunity like the one he had; he has also said reaching F1 takes more than talent, pointing to the need for the right people, support and opportunities at the right time.

Michel said F2 selects teams every three years and will keep its team count unchanged. He argued that maintaining the number is important for the health of the teams. He also considers 22 F2 drivers enough alongside 22 in F1: seats are available in some years, he said, but harder to find in others.
