MP Motorsport confirm the signing of Oliver Goethe for the 2025 season

MP Motorsport have confirmed that Oliver Goethe will continue racing for them in Formula 2 next season, completing their driver lineup for 2025.

Goethe stepped up to F2 with MP at Monza as a replacement for Franco Colapinto after a title-contending season in Formula 3. He achieved one victory and two further podiums on his way to finishing seventh in the Standings.

Since his call up, the German driver has scored 12 points for the team, which all came in the most recent Feature Race at Lusail, where he finished fourth.

He will now step up to F2 full-time next season partnering Richard Verschoor and speaking about his confirmation, Goethe says his experiences in 2024 will put him a good place for his first full season.

“I’m truly delighted to continue with MP Motorsport in 2025”, said Goethe. “It’s the logical thing to do – my four F2 rounds with MP this season will provide me with valuable experience working with the team and with Richard too, as we use that as a stepping stone towards next year’s full-season Formula 2 effort together.

“I’ve enjoyed many good times with the team when I started out in single-seaters five years ago, and on my return at Monza I was made to feel at home immediately. I can’t wait to go racing one more time in Abu Dhabi before preparing for our 2025 challenge.”

MP Motorsport Team Principal Sander Dorsman added: “It was great news that we were able to welcome Oliver back in the team at Monza, and its great news yet again that he is staying on for more Formula 2 in 2025.

“Oliver fitted right back in as soon as he rejoined our team and we look forward to repeating the strong results we gained in our time together in Spanish F4 and, of course, only recently at Macau in the FIA FR World Cup. Along with Richard, we have two very familiar faces in our team, and we aim to build on their close bond with the team to finish this season on a high and come out strong in 2025.”
