Rodin Carlin confirm 2024 lineup with Zane Maloney and Ritomo Miyata

Rodin Carlin have finalised their driver lineup for the 2024 Formula 2 campaign, with Zane Maloney returning to the British outfit for a second season, joined by Japanese driver Ritomo Miyata.

Maloney joined the F2 team after finishing the 2022 Formula 3 campaign third overall, having put on a late season charge up the Standings. In 2023, the Bajan driver secured 10th in the Drivers’ Championship, earning four podium finishes across the season.

“I’m really pleased to be remaining with the team for the 2024 season,” Maloney said. “I feel as though I’ve learned so much this year on track and I really believe we’re in a good place to hit the ground running next year.

“I’ve been with the team for three out of my five years in single seaters so it’s like a family here; I’m looking forward to continuing that relationship and going for the championship together in 2024.”

For Miyata, 2024 will be his first taste of F2 action, switching from Super Formula to join the British outfit. Miyata was Champion in Super Formula this season, taking two race victories and six podium finishes in his crowning campaign. Alongside his Super Formula success, Miyata also claimed the Super GT title in 2023, with three race wins and four podiums.

The 24-year-old said that he was very happy to be joining the F2 grid for 2024 and had high hopes for his rookie campaign.

“I’m excited to join Rodin Carlin and participate in FIA F2 for the 2024 season. Rodin Carlin has lots of experience and have achieved great things in the series. For me, it is my first time driving a Formula 2 car and the tracks on the calendar, so I have a lot to learn but I’m really looking forward to working with the team.

“I would like to thank Morizo-san, TGR staff, all the partners and Rodin Carlin who created this opportunity and supported me to race in FIA F2 this season. I will do my best to meet everyone's expectations."
