  • Stromsted stays with Trident for 2026

    Trident have announced that Noah Stromsted is set to return for a second campaign in Formula 3 with the team – completing their lineup for 2026 following the announcements of Freddie Slater and Matteo de Paolo.

    The 18 year old had a stellar rookie campaign in 2025, finishing sixth in the Drivers’ Championship with 84 points after achieving three podiums, which included a victory in the Spa-Francorchamps Sprint Race.

    Prior to that, Stromsted stepped up to single seater racing in 2021, and had success immediately, ending up second in the Danish F4 Championship with nine wins in 11 races.

    The Danish driver also competed in six races of the 2022 Spanish F4 Championships before returning for a full campaign in 2023, achieving three podiums.

    The year before stepping up to Formula 3, Stromsted achieved four podiums on his way to finishing sixth in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine.

    Stromsted is now set to return for another full season of Formula 3 with Trident, and he is more than delighted to be back with the Italian team.

    I am very happy to continue with Trident Motorsport in the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Championship. After completing my first full year with the Italian team, I look forward to building on this experience together, starting with the upcoming category collective test scheduled in Jerez. Our goal will be to fight for wins and ultimately the championship throughout the year. the knowledge I have from this year is going the be very important so we will work hard over the winter to build on that and be ready for 2026.
    Stromsted on the news.

    We are very happy to have Noah Strømsted with us for another year in FIA Formula 3. In his debut season, the Danish driver showed impressive speed, even if the results were occasionally inconsistent. We are confident that, by spending another year with the same team, Noah can become one of the standout drivers of the 2026 season. He is an extremely dedicated young driver, and with more experience, he will certainly feel more comfortable, both with the team and within the championship format.

  • F3 – Belgium – Day 2 & 3

    Day 2-

    Slater aced his start to keep hold of the lead into Turn 1 ahead of Stromsted along the Kemmel Straight, the Hitech TGR driver defended into Les Combes, with Bruno del Pino and Wurz following in third and fourth behind them.

    Lap 2 and Wurz was able to pass the MP Motorsport driver to make it a Trident 2-3, though the leading pair had escaped out of DRS range to those behind.

    Across the line on the following lap, Stromsted had the gap to Slater down to 0.4s and along the Kemmel Straight, the Dane swept into the lead with DRS.

    Ugochukwu was on the move, having overtaken Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and del Pino to get to P4 by Lap 3, he cleared Wurz around the outside into Les Combes to take third on Lap 4.

    Onto Lap 6 and Martinius Stenshorne put himself into fifth with a DRS pass on del Pino into Turn 5 and set his sights on Wurz, who was less than a second ahead.

    Having lost the lead earlier on, Slater fell out of DRS range to Stromsted and Ugochukwu moved himself into second with a DRS pass along the Kemmel Straight on Lap 7.

    Just behind them, Inthraphuvasak and del Pino went into battle at Turn 5, and the Campos Racing driver won their fight as the MP driver dipped a wheel into the gravel at Turn 6.
    That allowed Nikola Tsolov to sneak through for seventh as well.

    Wurz was able to take third from Slater on the following tour, while Championship rivals Rafael Camara and Mari Boya passed del Pino into Les Combes to take eighth and ninth places respectively.

    Entering Lap 9, Inthraphuvasak fell to eighth in a five-car battle as Stenshorne along with title rivals Tsolov, Camara and Boya fought by Slater.

    The Bulgarian passed Stenshorne for fourth place going into Lap 10 to put a car between himself and the Championship leader, but only briefly.
    Camara used DRS along the Kemmel Straight to break into the top five himself, going ahead of the Hitech driver at Turn 5.

    Crucially in the title picture, Boya was hit with a five-second time penatly on the pre-penultimate lap for exceeding track limits.
    The Spaniard was running in eighth position, but had several other drivers within that window going onto Lap 11 of 12.

    Onto the final lap and Inthraphuvasak passed Stenshorne to take sixth place, but teammate Boya couldn’t find a route past at Les Combes to follow.

    Up front, Stromsted went untroubled after taking the lead and dominated to earn his first F3 win by six seconds.

    The full top 10- P1: Stromsted, P2: Ugochukwu, P3: Wurz, P4: Tsolov, P5: Camara, P6: Inthraphuvasak, P7: Stenshorne, P8: Del Pino, P9: Badoer and P10: Slater.

    Day 3-

    The formation lap began behind the Safety Car, but still in torrential conditions. James Headley spun at Eau Rouge after aquaplaning off the road, while up ahead, Brando Badoer ran into the back of Tim Tramnitz.
    It left the PREMA Racing driver with race-ending damage and brought out the Red Flags.

    After waiting for conditions to improve, the race resumed under the Safety Car but there was more action as Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak spun in avoidance of his teammate Nikola Tsolov ahead of Turn 8.

    The Thai driver tried to rejoin but found himself beached on a kerb, requiring his car to be recovered.
    The race was then Red Flagged once again, and the announcement that it would not be resumed followed shortly afterwards.

    Due to no racing laps being completed before the final stoppage, no points were assigned.

  • Trident sign Noah Stromsted

    Trident have announced that Noah Stromsted will be driving in FIA Formula 3 next season – which is their second confirmed signing for the 2025 season.

    Stromsted stepped up to single seater racing in 2021 making an instant impact by finishing second in the F4 Danish Championship as a rookie thanks to his nine wins in 11 races.

    The 17 year old then competed in six races of the 2022 Spanish F4 Championship, taking pole position once before returning for a full season in 2023, where he ended up seventh in the standings with three podiums.

    This year, Stromsted has been competing in the Formula Regional European Championship and he is currently sixth in the standings having achieved one pole position and four podiums.

    The Dane also has previous experience in F3, as he was a final round substitute for Campos Racing this year at Monza, taking part in both Sprint and Feature races.

    I am very happy to join Trident for my debut season in the 2025 FIA Formula 3. Their success the past years speaks for itself, I will work very hard to be competitive since the beginning of the season and help the team as much as possible with the development of the new car. I would like to thank Trident for their trust and giving me this opportunity, and of course my sponsors, family, coach and management for making this happen.
    Stromsted on the news.

    We are extremely happy to announce Noah Strømsted in our line-up for the 2025 season. We had the opportunity to evaluate the Danish driver both on our test car and on our simulator and we immediately had excellent feedback. Despite being a very young driver, he is already very mature from our point of view. Noah has been the best rookie in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine in 2024. He is a young guy, with great potential and with a great margin for growth. We are really proud to have him on board our team competing in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, and we are convinced that he will be able to be among the key players of the category in his rookie season.
