Red Bull junior Iwasa initially saw Super Formula as ‘negative’ move
Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa will be partnering with Tomoki Nojiri at Team Mugen in Super Formula next year, taking the spot left vacant by Liam Lawson. Despite initially being hesitant about racing in his home country, Iwasa now believes that Super Formula can be a stepping stone to Formula 1, especially considering Red Bull’s involvement in the series. The Super Formula regulations allow for more car changes compared to Formula 2, which gives Iwasa the opportunity to work closely with the Mugen team to optimize the setup. Having already gained valuable experience in F2 with DAMS, Iwasa is confident that he can apply what he has learned and continue to progress towards his goal of reaching Formula 1.
