MP Motorsport opts for former Red Bull talent in Formula 2

Dennis Hauger, a former member of the Red Bull Junior Team, will stay with MP Motorsport in the FIA Formula 2 championship: the Norwegian junior signed on for a renewed campaign in the 2024 season of Formula 1's step-up class. After his two wins this year, Hauger hopes to add more wins in the new season.

This season, he has already won with MP at Albert Park and the Hungaroring. In addition, the Norwegian had four podiums and a fastest lap to his credit. With F3 rookie Franco Colapinto as a new teammate, Hauger is the retained member of the team.

"I’m really happy to stay with MP Motorsport for another season of FIA Formula 2," said Hauger. "I’m truly looking forward to the challenge of setting up a winning new F2 car, as we aim to build on the experience we gained as a team working together in 2023. I welcome Franco as my new teammate – he’s a familiar face to MP too, and that can only be to our advantage in the transitional winter period while getting to grips with the new car.”

"We are delighted that Dennis has decided to continue with us in the new season," said Sander Dorsman, MP Motorsport's team manager. "He’s quick, with a cool and smart head on his shoulders. His feedback will help us in the development race with the new car as we move into a new era of FIA Formula 2. With Dennis and Franco, we have two known quantities in our top team on the single-seater ladder. Having signed both at a very early stage will surely contribute to our getting up to speed as soon as we can.”
