Japan's Yuki's Tsunoda will replace Daniil Kvyat at AlphaTauri in Formula One next season.
Tsunoda, part of the young driver programmes of Red Bull and its engine supplier Honda, will partner Italian Grand Prix winner Pierre Gasly. Tsunoda was F2's rookie of the year in 2020, scoring three wins on his way to third in the championship.
He will be one of three rookies on the grid next year alongside Haas duo Mick Schumacher, who won the F2 title, and Nikita Mazepin.
The news likely end's Kvyat's career in F1, with all but one seat taken for next season.
