After starting his career in the Italian Moto3 Championship with Gresini’s and the SIC58’s junior teams, the young Italian rider switched to the European Moto2 Championship in 2018. He won the title for best rookie of the year and gained a sixth place in the general standings, making his debut with a podium at the Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto. In 2019, he finished the season in fourth place, after reaching three podiums during the year. 2019 was also the year during which Marcon made his first MotoGP debut with a replacement in Valencia. In 2020, Tommaso became an official rider for the Tech3 Team in the MotoE.
For the 2021 season, the MV Agusta Forward Racing team will do its best in helping the rider grow as an essential part of the team. Young Tommaso will work alongside Simone and Lorenzo during the entire season, in order to become familiar with the garage and paddock environment.
'I’m very happy to have Tommaso in my family, and I’m sure that the MV Agusta Forward racing Team will be the right environment for him,” team principal Giovanni Cuzari commented. “Tommaso comes from a team that I respect a lot (ed. Tech3), and I’m sure we’ll be able to do a great job together. Our intent is to prepare the young rider for next season for all the races on 2022. Welcome Tommy.”
Tommaso Marcon: 'I'm very happy to join the MV Agusta Forward Racing family. This year, I'll have the opportunity to compete with the best in the world, even if only for a few races, and it's an incredible opportunity for me to do even more and better. I’ve always dreamed of being a rider, and I want this challenge to be the start of a great adventure. I can't wait to test the bike on track after this long winter. Talking to the guys on the team, I know they’ll do their best to put me in the best possible condition. I know I’ll have a lot to learn, and I feel ready both physically and mentally to train, improve, and be fast. Thanks for the opportunity to all the guys and to Giovanni.'

Russian motor racer Robert Shwartzman will continue racing for Team Prema in 2021 FIA Formula 2 World Championship, the press office of the team said in a statement on Monday.
“Prema Racing and Robert Shwartzman will extend their commitment to the FIA Formula 2 Championship throughout the 2021 season,” the statement from the team reads. “The Russian, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, will return for his second year in the series after cruising to six podiums including four race wins, the highest amount of race victories among his fellow contenders.”
The Russian racer finished the 2020 F2 World Championship fourth in the overall drivers’ standings. In October 2017, Shwartzman became the first Russian ever to join the Ferrari Driver Academy at the age of 18 alongside trainees Giuliano Alesi, Marcus Armstrong, Enzo Fittipaldi, Antonio Fuoco, Charles Leclerc and Guan Yu Zhou.
“He is now set for his fourth consecutive season under the PREMA banner, aiming to take another key step in his successful career so far,” according to the statement.
Commenting on Shwartzman’s stay for another season, Prema Team Principal Rene Rosin said: “We are delighted to extend our relationship with Robert into the 2021 season.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with him so far and we are really proud of his continued progress,” the head of Team Prema continued. “He truly has a rare talent, and we are looking forward to seeing him take another step next year.”
“In 2020, he immediately proved he could run for wins, and we want to build on that immediacy to be consistent contenders in 2021,” Rosin added.
The 21-year-old Russian racer stated that he was “happy” to continue his cooperation with F2 Team Prema next year.
“I am happy to race in Formula 2 with PREMA again in 2021,” the statement from Shwartzman reads. “Our target as a team is obviously to win and make progress in terms of results from this season, working hard, improving the car but also enjoying another year by staying together and having fun.”
