Ireland’s Alex Dunne will race in Formula 2 in 2025 to take a step closer to his dream of reaching Formula 1.
The 19-year-old will drive for Rodin Motorsport in Formula 2, which is the category below Formula 1 and races alongside motorsport’s premier series.
After an impressive rise up the motorsport ladder, Dunne was signed in May as a Development Driver by McLaren, who won the Formula 1 constructors’ title in 2024.
Dunne secured two podiums while driving for MP Motorsport in his first season in Formula 3.
“I’m looking forward to the upcoming season and thankful for everyone’s support in getting me to this stage – I can’t wait to hit the ground running,” Dunne said.
He drove in the post-season Formula 2 test for Rodin in Abu Dhabi in December and posted the third-fastest lap on the final day at the Yas Marina circuit.
His team-mate at Rodin will be Australia’s Christian Mansell, who had a best finish of fifth in Formula 3.
“Alex’s talent, dedication, and passion for racing align perfectly with our team’s values and ambitions,” said Rodin’s motorsport sporting director and team manager Benn Huntingford.
“We are confident that he will make a significant impact in the upcoming season and know that he is capable of enjoying a really great season with the team.”
