Iaconelli joins F2 following 13 races in the 2008 GP2 Series and a further
two outings in the 2008/2009 GP2 Asia Series. He also participated in
selected rounds of last year's International Formula Master Championship and
scored a podium position in Italian Formula Master.
Prior to GP2 the 21 year-old driver competed in the 2007 Formula Renault 3.5
Championship, racing against fellow F2 drivers Rob Wickens, Julien Jousse
and Mikhail Aleshin. His strong single seater racing background also
includes experience in Spanish Formula 3, Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup,
Formula Renault 2.0 Italy, and the Brazilian Formula Renault and Formula 3
championships.
Carlos Iaconelli said: "I am really delighted to be racing in F2 in 2009; it
will be a fantastic challenge. The championship will visit beautiful
circuits, with competitive drivers and a powerful car - it seems to be a
great combination. The prize of an F1 test drive with Williams for the F2
champion represents something all young drivers have dreamt of since a young
age and I will work very hard to make my dream come true. I would like to
take this moment to thank Mr. Palmer and all of the Formula Two team for
this fantastic opportunity."
