Overview
- Formula 2 unveiled the new car at Monza on Saturday, September 5, 2026, confirming the existing Dallara chassis will be retained while redesigned front and rear wings aim to improve the car’s ability to follow and pass rivals.
- The package adds an on-board starter integrated through a Hewland gearbox evolution so drivers can restart after a spin or stall and teams face fewer race stoppages.
- Powertrain and key suppliers remain unchanged with a 3.4‑litre turbocharged Mecachrome V6 rated to 620 hp running on Aramco advanced sustainable fuel, Pirelli as tyre supplier, Marelli electronics and Brembo brakes.
- The car first ran at Barcelona in June 2026 and completed wind‑tunnel and aero development over the summer, with upgrade kits due to be delivered to teams in December 2026 and January 2027 ahead of the 2027 season.
- Organisers say the evolution is meant to sharpen F2’s role as the final step to F1 by matching F1 styling and on‑track behaviour while keeping costs down, and reports say the LN4 Fusion entry is expected to use the car pending formal approval.
