Recently enrolled by McLaren in its structure dedicated to young drivers, the American Ugo Ugochukwu will debut in single-seaters in the British Formula 4 championship. At only 14 years old, he will drive for the Carlin team

It is by becoming the first American karting driver to win the crown of European Junior champion that Ugo Ugochukwu caught the eye of McLaren, who will assist him in his year of F4. He recently finished off the podium in the World Championship in the OK category and 2nd in the WSK Euro Series in the OK class.

“I feel very comfortable with Carlin and our pre-season preparations are already going well, the teenager enthuses. There will be a lot to learn but I have a great team around me to help me overcome all the challenges. I can not wait to go there. »

“Ugo is a promising new talent and we are delighted to have him with us for this first step on the pyramid of car ", said team boss Trevor Carlin. “Despite his very young age, Ugo does an excellent job in private testing. He absorbs all the information calmly and makes big improvements in each session ; This is the sign of a driver full of potential. »
