Ugo Ugochukwu will continue to partner with Prema in 2023. The 15-year-old American will participate in a full-time Formula 4 program with the team after competing in four 2022 events.
Backed by McLaren Racing, Ugochukwu made his motor racing debut this season, coming from a successful karting career highlighted by the 2020 FIA OKJ European title.
In the 2022 British Formula 4 Championship, he took third place overall and the rookie title, winning two races and taking 11 podium finishes. Later in the season, he joined Prema, achieving two overall podiums in the German ADAC Formula 4 championship and four in the Italian Formula 4 championship.
The New York native will participate in the entire Italian F.4 Championship as a main commitment and will participate in other events, including the five rounds of F4 UAE in early 2023.
