The Czech pilot was already active in the Trident team last season in Formula 3, in which he finished in 5th place overall and was on the podium four times. He won the race in Imola, Italy, finished second in Barcelona, Spain and repeated the same position in the sprint and in the main race in Spa, Belgium.
Giacomo Ricci is the manager of the Trident team in Formula 2, as in Formula 3, which also played a big role in the continued cooperation with this team. The Czech racer’s teammate will be the Frenchman Clément Novalak, who already raced in Formula 2 last year for the MP Motorsport team.
