Trident have released Sami Meguetounif and Max Esterson from their F2 driver line-up with immediate effect.
Meguetounif’s exit comes after just 11 rounds in his rookie season as he laid 19th in the standings with two points, courtesy of tenth-placed feature race finishes in Imola and Austria.
Esterson meanwhile failed to score a single point and sat second-last in 21st position with a season’s best finish of tenth in the Austrian Sprint.
Across their social media platforms, Trident issued a short statement confirming Meguetounif and Esterson’s exits.
“By mutual agreement with @sami_meguetounif and @maxesterson , we have decided to part ways before the end of the 2025 season.
“Thank you, Sami and Max, for your commitment, passion, and spirit, they have left a lasting
mark on our Team.
“It has been a pleasure to have had them both on our Team, and we wish them all the best for their future.”
F3’s Martinius Stenshorne and Laurens van Hoepen are rumoured to be stepping up as the replacement drivers for F2’s trip to Baku, Azerbaijan, from 19-21 September.
