Gabriele Minì joins MP Motorsport for the 2026 Formula 2 season

MP Motorsport have confirmed the signing of Gabriele Minì for the 2026 FIA Formula 2 season.

Minì is set to return for a second full campaign in the Championship after a 2025 season that saw him achieve three podiums, and finish 13th in Standings with 72 points.

Prior to that, the Italian driver achieved his maiden F2 podium in his debut weekend in the Baku Sprint Race back in 2024, finishing third. That same year, Minì finished second in the Formula 3 Drivers' Championship,

Minì has also previously won the 2020 Italian F4 Championship and placed second in the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship.

The 20-year-old is now set to return for another season in F2, and spoke of his delight at the opportunity to do that with MP.

“I’m very excited to be able to join MP Motorsport for my second full season in FIA Formula 2”, said Minì. “Their drivers have been strong rivals all throughout my career in single-seaters, and definitely in F2 as well, so it’s good to be switching to their side for next year! I know it’s a Dutch team, but teaming up with MP is some sort of homecoming as well, as their engineering team is led by three highly regarded Italians who have won several titles in Formula 2 and know all about winning. I can’t wait to get to work with them and the rest of the team, and head out to Melbourne fully prepared for our first race together.”

MP Motorsport Team Principal Sander Dorsman added: “It’s wonderful news that Gabriele will be part of our FIA Formula 2 line-up in 2026. He was a champion in his first season in F4 and a title contender in FRECA and F3, so his natural talent is up there with the best. With Gabriele on board, now with a full year’s experience of F2 behind his belt, we aim to consistently challenge for wins in 2026.”
