McLaren makes Fornaroli announcement amid 'crime against junior ladder' warning

Leonardo Fornaroli, having missed out on a Haas F1 2027 seat, has been confirmed by McLaren in its 2027 World Endurance Championship Hypercar line-up.

The reigning Formula 2 champion has also been announced for Mexico and Brazil FP1 outings before that. James Robinson, the young Italian’s former Invicta Racing F2 team boss, is pleased to see that he has “clearly found a home at McLaren”, though Robinson said it would be a “crime against the junior ladder” if a place on the F1 grid continues to allude Fornaroli.
