F2 grid expands with Brazilian entry
2008 GP2 driver Carlos Iaconelli is the latest signing for the FIA Formula Two championship. He becomes the first South American driver in the F2 series.
“I am really delighted to be racing in F2 in 2009; it will be a fantastic challenge. The championship will visit beautiful circuits, with competitive drivers and a powerful car – it seems to be a great combination. The prize of an F1 test drive with Williams for the F2 champion represents something all young drivers have dreamt of since a young age and I will work very hard to make my dream come true. I would like to take this moment to thank Mr. Palmer and all of the Formula Two team for this fantastic opportunity.”
Iaconelli has been racing in Europe since 2005 and has sampled a lot of series over the last couple of years: GP2, World Series by Renault, Formula 3, International Formula Master and Formula Renault 2.0.
