The high-speed world of Formula 2 is heading to North America! In a major calendar shake-up, the FIA has confirmed that the premier feeder series to Formula 1 will join the weekend bill at both the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix this May.

This exciting addition comes after the championship's opening rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were cancelled, creating a significant three-month gap in the schedule. Rather than wait until the Monaco Grand Prix in June, F2 has swiftly pivoted to make its debut on two of F1's most vibrant and popular circuits.

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali hailed the move, stating it was "great news for our fans, the drivers and the teams" and emphasized the fantastic opportunity to "restart the racing" with F2 alongside F1 as the circus returns to the United States. This strategic pivot not only fills the calendar void but also significantly boosts F2's global profile by introducing its intense, wheel-to-wheel racing to passionate North American audiences for the first time.

For motorsport fans, this means even more on-track action during two already blockbuster weekends. It offers a prime opportunity to witness the future stars of Formula 1, like last year's champion Theo Pourchaire, battle it out on iconic tracks. The high-stakes drama of F2, where young drivers fight for their F1 dreams, will now be a central part of the spectacle in Miami and Montreal, making for an unforgettable experience for attendees and viewers alike.
