Argentine motorsport is celebrating great news: Mattia Colnaghi, a 17-year-old Italian-Argentine driver, has been announced as a new member of FIA Formula 3 with MP Motorsport for the 2026 season. He will also join the prestigious Red Bull Junior Team, a program that promotes young talents toward Formula 1 and has already featured Franco Colapinto as a protagonist.
Currently, Colnaghi is leading the Eurocup-3, where he has accumulated four victories and two podiums in 2025, a campaign that reinforces his rising career. His previous track record had already caused attention: Spanish F4 champion in 2024 with six wins and rapid progress in single-seaters after his time in international karting.
The driver, born in Monza but with Argentine roots on his mother's side, originally from Patagonia, expressed his excitement after the confirmation: "I'm very excited about the opportunity that MP Motorsport and the Red Bull Junior Team have given me. Joining Grand Prix weekends as a Formula 3 driver is a dream come true, and I'm looking forward to continuing to build the unbelievable working relationship that MP and I have developed over the past two seasons".
