Toyota-backed Sho Tsuboi to make switch from Super Formula to F2

Toyota-backed driver Sho Tsuboi is set to transition from Super Formula to FIA Formula 2 at the end of the current season. Tsuboi, who claimed the 2024 Super Formula title with TOM’S, is following in the footsteps of Ritomo Miyata after achieving success at the top levels of Japanese racing. This move is likely to be accompanied by a larger role at Haas F1 team, which has a technical partnership with Toyota.
Tsuboi recently participated in Haas Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) program at Jerez, marking his third appearance in the program this year. Toyota Racing vice-chairman Kazuki Nakajima revealed that the company is supporting Tsuboi and other drivers in their ambitions, with international opportunities potentially opening up as a result of Tsuboi's involvement in Haas F1.
Miyata, currently his teammate at Hitech, appears less likely to continue in Formula 2 for another year, with returning to Japan—where he could reunite with TOM’S in both Super Formula and Super GT—being a plausible option. Meanwhile, Zak O’Sullivan is leaving Super Formula to join Envision Racing in Formula E for the 2026/27 season.
