Boschung joins Ferrari Academy driver Alesi in Trident's F2 line-up
Swiss racer Ralph Boschung will join Ferrari Academy driver Giuliano Alesi in Trident Racing's Formula 2 line-up in 2019
F2 regular Boschung finished 19th overall with Campos Racing in 2017, before suffering a host of reliability issues and bad luck in 2018 with MP Motorsport when he placed 18th.
The 21-year-old has tested for Trident this pre-season and, despite being replaced for two days by Antonio Fuoco, has now secured the Italian team's second seat.
"I have been in contact with them for several years and I am delighted that the conditions to work together are finally in place," said Boschung.
"The team is high-level, both from a technical and human point of view, and I am sure that there will be the chemistry needed for a top season. I cannot wait to get back on track."
Trident team boss Giacomo Ricci added: "Ralph is a driver of great quality and undisputed talent.
"Together with Giuliano Alesi, he will form a complementary line-up with high potential."
Only three seats remain on the F2 grid for 2019; two at MP Motorsport and one at Campos Racing.
Dorian Boccolacci conducted most of Campos's running in pre-season testing alongside the team's first driver, Renault junior Jack Aitken, while MP has fielded a range of drivers including IndyCar refugee Jordan King.
