“I’m really excited to be driving in F2. Last year I contested four races and enjoyed every one and was impressed with the set up of F2, so it’s great to be running a full campaign in 2012. My aim is to be at the front and of course I would love to get my hands on the Williams F1 prize test, although I know the competition is going to be tough, especially from returning drivers."
Luciano returns to the FIA Formula Two Championship in 2012
following a very impressive part season last year which saw him
score points in all of the four races he contested.
The British racer began karting at the age of 13 before his
natural skill and flair behind the wheel saw him rise through the
motorsport ranks.
After graduating from karts, Luciano moved to the Ginetta Junior Championship enjoying instant success before competing in the T-Cars Championship with the PalmerSport Junior Team where he took the championship in convincing style including six wins, three pole positions and 11 podiums.
Since 2006, the McLaren Autosport Award finalist has successfully competed in Formula Palmer Audi, Formula Renault 2.0, WEC & Eurocup including being runner-up in the 2010 FRenault Eurocup series.
In 2011, Luciano undertook a part season in the highly competitive GP3 Series with the RSC Mücke Motorsport team, securing a points finish together with a further top 10 result.
Towards the end of the year he switched to Formula Two for the two events at the Red Bull Ring and Monza where, despite his lack of time in the car, he quickly impressed finishing seventh and tenth in his first ever races. He followed that up in Italy with a further two points finishes including a best of fifth to end 13th overall in the final standings from just two rounds.
