Soucek moves from GP2 to F2

Andy Soucek has become the first Spanish driver to confirm his participation
in the 2009 FIA Formula Two Championship.

Soucek joins F2 after two seasons competing in GP2 where he scored four
podium finishes, including a third place at the Circuit de Valencia - where
F2 will commence at the end of May. The Madrid-born racer graduated to GP2
after challenging for the World Series by Renault title in 2006 and he won
the Spanish F3 championship in 2005. This success led to a test drive with
the Panasonic Toyota F1 team.

Soucek has already competed against some of the confirmed F2 drivers during
his career, most notably Russia's Mikhail Aleshin. The pair raced together
in World Series by Renault and GP2 in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Andy Soucek said: "I am very happy to be racing in F2. It is a category with
a long history and tradition, where many famous drivers have progressed into
Formula One. My target is still F1 and I am convinced through the FIA and
Jonathan Palmer's MSV organisation, F2 will provide a fantastic championship
where the finest drivers can achieve their dream. Some of the F2 drivers
have previously been my rivals in other series, but many others I do not
know so well. I am sure there will be more than one surprise but I am
convinced that I have the experience to fight for the F2 title. This is my
goal, as the Superlicence and official Williams F1 test drive are both
attractive awards."
