Dutch driver Richard Verschoor will rejoin MP Motorsport for a fresh attack of the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2025, it is confirmed today.

The FIA Formula 2 Championship was back on track today for the seventh round of the 2024 season in Spielberg, as drivers entered the Sprint Race at the Styrian venue. Right from qualifying, Trident Motorsport drivers Richard Verschoor and Roman Staněk could not find good chemistry with the track. The Czech driver ended up in P24, while the Dutchman was 17th.

Sacha van 't Pad Bosch will represent the Netherlands in this year's FIA Karting Academy Trophy. The 14-year-old karting talent from Nijkerk was selected by the KNAF (Dutch Motorsport Federation) based on his achieved results and rapid progression.

Richard Verschoor will have another shot at a top classification in the FIA Formula 2 championship in 2024. In doing so, the recently turned 23-year-old TeamNL talent will race for Italian Trident Motorsport. With that, Verschoor returns to the team with which he also raced in Formula 2 in 2022. In that season, the Dutchman scored one victory, four podiums and drove the fastest lap three times. "I am very happy to be back at Trident Motorsport, grateful for this opportunity, and ready to take on the challenge," Verschoor said.

The prestigious Macau Grand Prix was back for its 70th time this year. The always surprising street circuit provided another exciting spectacle in 2023, with multiple safety cars, a red flag, and exciting on-track battles. Dennis Hauger had already grabbed a podium spot during the race by securing third place, but he took the second position during the race's final restart.

The FIA Formula 2 Championship will be back on track on the Jeddah street circuit. Trident Motorsport is set for a new challenge coming from the win secured with Richard Verschoor in round 1 in Bahrain.
 

In 2019, Richard Verschoor became first rookie winner of the Macau Grand Prix since 2008, but that’s far from the MP Motorsport driver’s only achievement to date.
