FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 unveil streamlined logos for 2026, aiming to modernize their image and tighten the link to Formula 1 across digital, broadcast, and trackside platforms.
The designs adopt single-colour schemes. Formula 2 retains blue, preserving continuity. Formula 3 switches to bright orange, projecting a younger, more energetic identity within the FIA single-seater ladder.
Formula 2 stays blue; Formula 3 turns bright orange to sharpen series differentiation.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem frames the update as part of driver development. He underscores F2 and F3 as essential preparation steps toward Formula 1 and international competition.
Stefano Domenicali supports the move, arguing unified, modern branding clarifies the sport’s pyramid. Consistency helps fans trace progression from junior categories to the top tier.
Domenicali: A clearer link between feeder series and Formula 1 is vital for fans.
The update balances evolution and continuity. Formula 2 has carried blue since replacing GP2 in 2017. Formula 3 adopted its identity in 2019, making orange the notable shift.
Series CEO Bruno Michel credits close collaboration with Formula 1 and the FIA. The intent is to visualise the journey to F1, blending F2 familiarity with F3’s sharper energy.
New branding rolls out across digital platforms, broadcast graphics, and trackside signage.
The refreshed assets roll out across websites, social channels, television graphics, trackside signage, and promotional materials. A unified look should aid recognition and reduce visual clutter during broadcasts.
The change lands as the 2026 calendar takes shape, reinforcing the pathway for emerging drivers. Recent Formula 2 qualifying action underlines that narrative, with young talent adapting to rising stakes.
That progression is a recurring theme in crucial talks about the single-seater ladder. It is also reflected in Canadian GP F2 results as form ebbs and flows.
Elsewhere, McLaren’s performance changes illustrate how branding sits alongside broader competitive shifts at the top. The feeder series alignment supports that bigger picture for audiences and stakeholders.
