Dunne competed in Formula 3 last year but made the step up to F2 for 2025, racing with the Rodin team and he is also part of the McLaren Fi driver development programme.

The 19-year-old from Offaly, managed by his father Noel, a former racer himself, is also the McLaren Formula E Team's Reserve and Development Driver for the 2025 Formula E World Championship.

Testing a McLaren Fi this week in the Netherlands is another rung on the stepladder but the step up into Fl is a massive leap.
