MP Motorsport confirms Oliver Goethe for 2026 season

Oliver Goethe will return for another season of FIA Formula 2 with MP Motorsport the team has confirmed.

The German driver joined the team part-way through the 2024 campaign, before competing in his first full season this year. Currently, Goethe finds himself P17 in the Drivers’ Championship.

Speaking about his re-signing with MP, he said that he was looking forward to returning to a team that has become a ‘second home’.

“I’m truly delighted to stay with MP Motorsport for my second year in FIA Formula 2”, said Goethe. “Over the years, the team has become a second home away from home for me, and through all the adversity our bond has only grown stronger this year. Now having experienced a full season of F2, my plan is to capitalise on all the knowledge that I’ve gained over the year and build on that with the experienced engineering crew at MP. First I’m aiming to give this season the best possible finish, and then it’s full speed ahead to 2026!”

MP Motorsport Team Principal Sander Dorsman added: “We’re all very happy that Ollie has decided to join us for another season in F2. It’s been a true delight working with him, and the fact that we know each through and through will only be an additional benefit going into 2026. Ollie scored some good points this year, but on several occasions fate agonisingly decided otherwise. Next season’s FIA Formula 2 Championship will be as fiercely competitive as ever, but we will start 2026 prepared to the teeth, with the aim of forcing luck to fall our way.”
