Ralph Boschung (born 23 September 1997) is a Swiss racing driver who is set to compete in the 2021 FIA Formula 2 Championship for Campos Racing.[2] He previously competed in Formula 2 from 2017 to 2020, for Campos Racing, MP Motorsport and Trident.[3]

Career

Formula BMW Talent Cup

In 2012, Boschung competed in open-wheel racing, in Formula BMW Talent Cup. He ended the season 5th.

ADAC Formel Masters

In 2013, Boschung competed in ADAC Formel Masters from Team KUG Motorsport and ended the season 7th. In 2014, he moved to Lotus and ended the season 7th.

GP3 Series

In 2015, Boschung debuted in the GP3 Series with Jenzer Motorsport, finishing 11th in the championship and finishing on the podium in the sprint race at Silverstone.

For the 2016 season, Boschung switched to Koiranen GP. He won the sprint race at the Red Bull Ring and finished 11th in the standings, helping Koiranen to finish 5th in the team championship.

FIA Formula 2

In March 2017 Boschung signed for Campos Racing to compete in the inaugural FIA Formula 2 Championship,[4] initially partnering Stefano Coletti and later Roberto Merhi, Robert Vișoiu and Álex Palou. Boschung parted ways with Campos before the final round at Yas Marina and was replaced by Lando Norris.[5][6] Boschung scored 11 points and finished 19th in the championship, with a best finish of seventh place at the Red Bull Ring.

After appearing at the 2017 post-season test with MP Motorsport, Boschung signed with the team for the 2018 season alongside Roberto Merhi and later Dorian Boccolacci.[7] Boschung suffered a number of retirements during his campaign, including five consecutively, and again failed to finish the season after leaving MP Motorsport due to budgetary reasons.[8] He was replaced by Niko Kari for the rounds at Sochi and Abu Dhabi.[9] Boschung scored 17 points and placed 18th in the championship, with two seventh places being his best results.

Boschung raced for Trident in 2019 alongside Giuliano Alesi.[8] His season was again plagued by funding problems, and he was replaced with Ryan Tveter and Dorian Boccolacci for the rounds in Austria and Britain respectively.[10][11] Boschung returned to Trident at the Hungaroring round.[12] At the Spa-Francorchamps feature race, Boschung was involved in an accident which resulted in the death of Anthoine Hubert and serious injuries for Juan Manuel Correa. The car of teammate Alesi, who was also involved in the accident, was impounded by the Belgian authorities and the team was forced to field only one car for the next round at Monza. Boschung was stood down to allow Alesi to compete.[13] Boschung again lost his seat prior to the final round in Abu Dhabi and was replaced by Christian Lundgaard.[14] Trident finished last in the teams' championship, with Boschung scoring three points and placing 19th in the drivers' championship. His best finish was ninth place at the Monaco feature race.

Trident fielded a new driver lineup for the 2020 season and Boschung left the series. However, in December 2020 it was announced that Boschung would return to Campos Racing to compete in the 2021 Formula 2 Championship.[15] This return was brought forward to the final round of 2020 by a series of driver moves caused by Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's positive coronavirus test. Hamilton was replaced for the Formula One Sakhir Grand Prix by Williams driver George Russell, who was in turn replaced by Campos Formula 2 driver Jack Aitken, allowing Boschung to return to Formula 2 at the second Bahrain round.[16]
