Brazilian racing driver and investor in Enzo Fittipaldi’s career Pedro Boesel has claimed the F2 driver was in line for a seat at RB this season, before ultimately being dropped from Red Bull’s driver academy.
According to Brazilian racer Pedro Boesel, Enzo Fittipaldi was supposedly chosen by Red Bull to race for AlphaTauri in the 2024 F1 season, but ultimately this decision did not come to fruition, despite a private test after the 2023 British Grand Prix. Enzo, currently racing for Van Amersfoort Racing in F2 and a member of the Red Bull young driver program, was released from the team’s junior ranks at the end of the year, even though he ended the F2 season in seventh place. Boesel expressed confusion over Red Bull’s decision to release Enzo along with several other F2 drivers from their academy, while retaining Isack Hadjar. Enzo Fittipaldi is now set to test for IndyCar team Arrow McLaren as he aims to advance his career in American single-seater racing.
