Brando Badoer joins Prema and McLaren for 2025 season

The academy of McLaren continues to grow. After welcoming Gabriel Bortoleto, current leader of the F2, and more recently Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne in Formula 3, the English team has opened its doors to a new driver. This is Brando Badoer, son of Luca, former driver of Formula 1.

But this news came with another one since the Italian saw his promotion validated. Currently 5th in FRECA with VAR (7 podiums and 1 pole position), Brando Badoer will compete in Formula 3 next year. Small difference, he will not do it with the Dutch team but with Prema, a first for him who started in car in 2022. " I am very proud to be part of Prema for the 2025 F3 season., rejoiced the 18-year-old Transalpine. This is a great opportunity to continue to improve in the best possible way and to continue my development as a driver. I am looking forward to this new challenge in my career, with the support of the McLaren Driver Development Programme, and I can’t wait to start working with the team! »

With the confirmation of Brando Badoer, Prema already has two seats secured for the next campaign since Ugo Ugochukwu had already been made official.
