Formula 2 driver Marcus Armstrong said his Formula 1 dream remains alive, and hopes to put his name out there by winning the F2 title this year.

The 21-year-old, formerly a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, heads into the new season knowing he needs to be fighting at the sharp end in Formula 2, after a solitary victory in 2021 and a mid-table finish in the championship standings.

There had been rumours around the New Zealander’s future about a potential move to America to join IndyCar, but he felt staying on the Formula 1 support circuit for now was his best move for the season ahead.
