Momentum Motorsports is proud to announce its driver lineup for the 2026 Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) and Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) seasons, featuring a mix of returning talent and rising stars as the team looks to build on its recent success.
Leading the charge in FR Americas will be Anthony Autiello, who returns to the team to defend his title in the Masters class. Autiello delivered an impressive 2025 campaign, securing the Masters championship with consistent podium finishes and race-winning performances. Now entering the new season, he sets his sights on back-to-back titles with Momentum Motorsports.
“I'm excited to be back with Momentum Motorsports for another season,” expressed Autiello. “Last year was an incredible experience winning the Masters championship, and the goal this year is to come back even stronger and defend that title. The team knows what it takes, and I’m ready to get to work.”
In F4 U.S., Momentum Motorsports will field Luca Day, who continues his progression with the team after competing in the Ligier Junior Formula Championship last season. Day showed strong development and potential throughout 2025 and now takes the next step up the open-wheel ladder as he joins the highly competitive F4 grid.
“I’m really looking forward to stepping up to F4 with Momentum Motorsports,” added Day. “Having already worked with the team last year, I feel comfortable and confident heading into the season. This is a big opportunity for me to grow as a driver and compete at a higher level.”
Team owner Phil Picard expressed confidence in both drivers and the team’s outlook for the upcoming season.
“We’re excited to bring Anthony back to defend his Master’s title and to welcome Luca into our F4 program,” explained Picard. “Anthony proved last season that he knows how to battle, and we expect him to be a strong contender again this year. Luca has shown great potential in his development, and we’re looking forward to helping him take the next step in F4. Overall, we have a strong lineup and high expectations for 2026.”
With a proven champion and an emerging talent in its ranks, Momentum Motorsports is poised for a competitive and successful 2026 season.
