Rodin Motorsport have announced their first driver signing for the 2025 Formula 2 campaign, with Christian Mansell set to race for the team next year.

Mansell enjoyed a stellar 2024 season in Formula 3, fighting for the title until the final round before ending up fifth in the Standings thanks to his five podiums.

The 19-year-old then stepped up to F2 with Trident in Baku and scored points in both races on his debut weekend and is currently set to see out the rest of the season with the Italian team in Lusail and Yas Marina.

The Australian driver will then return to Rodin full-time in 2025, a team where he has had previous success having achieved multiple race wins and podiums for them across the 2020 British F4 and 2021 GB3 Championships.

Following the announcement, Mansell expressed his delight at rejoining a team he knows very well.

“I am thrilled to be returning to Rodin Motorsport for the 2025 season,” said Mansell. "The team has always been supportive, and I am excited to build on our past successes together. I look forward to the challenges ahead and am ready to give my best on the track.”

Rodin Motorsport Team Manager Benn Huntingford: “We are pleased to welcome Christian back to the team here at Rodin Motorsport. We’ve been impressed watching his step up to the Formula 2 championship and know how great he is to work with from our previous seasons together. I’m looking forward to seeing him get behind the wheel of the car in Abu Dhabi with us and getting our season underway.”
