Red Bull junior Iwasa gets 2024 Mugen Super Formula seat
Ayumu Iwasa, the 22-year-old Japanese driver, will be partnering with two-time champion Tomoki Nojiri at Mugen for the upcoming Super Formula season, replacing Liam Lawson. Lawson will be serving as a reserve driver for Red Bull’s Formula 1 teams in 2024, preventing his return to Super Formula. In addition, Iwasa will have the opportunity to test a Formula 1 car with AlphaTauri during the post-season test after the Abu Dhabi finale. Iwasa expressed his excitement to race for Mugen, learn from Nojiri, and aim for victories and the championship. He acknowledged that the Super Formula car is faster than F2 and expects a different team approach. Iwasa is currently third in the F2 standings, with a slim chance of becoming champion.
