Lando Norris junior racing team launch

Overview

Lando Norris has announced the launch of LN4 Fusion, a new junior racing team developed in collaboration with Fusion Motorsport to support young talents aiming for Formula 1. The project has acquired assets from AIX Racing to compete in Formula 3 starting in 2027 and is pursuing applications for Formula 2 participation. The team also plans to enter various Formula 4 series, including operations in the UK.

To manage these racing efforts, the organization will operate with a dual structure: a main headquarters in Veneto, Italy, and a UK-based arm in Cambridgeshire led by Dan Hazlewood to oversee British F4 operations. The venture is supported by an investment group led by CEO Dan Richards and is led by motorsport veterans, including Team Principal René Rosin and Racing Director Guillaume Capietto. Alongside the racing team, Norris is introducing the LN4 Legacy Programme, a fully funded initiative managed by ADD Management to provide resources to talented drivers lacking necessary funding.

In October 2026, LN4 Fusion announced its first driver for the 2027 FIA Formula 3 championship: 18-year-old American James Egozi. Shortly after, the team confirmed Brazilian driver Gabriel Gomez will also compete in the 2027 Formula 3 season. Gomez, a former Formula Winter Series winner and runner-up in the Italian F4 and E4 Championship, joins the squad following his recent participation in the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA).
