Trident have retained Noah Stromsted for the 2026 F3 season.
Stromsted graduated into F3 with the Italian team this season and recorded a sixth-placed finish in the drivers’ standings, in which he took victory in the Belgian Sprint plus claimed second-placed finishes at Australian and Emilia Romagna Feature Races.
The 18-year-old Danish driver is the highest-placed driver confirmed to be returning to F3 next season at time of writing after Trident opted to retain him alongside rookies, Freddie Slater and Matteo De Palo who are graduating into the series for 2026.
Upon confirmation of his stay with Trident in F3 next season, Stromsted explained that he is “very happy” to remain in the category for a second full season, having first made his F3 debut at Campos in the 2024 season finale at Monza, Italy.
“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 through out 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.”
Trident Team Principal, Giacomo Ricci added that the team “are very happy” to retain Stromsted with view to improving his consistency.
“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.”
