Jokinen joins 2010 F2 field

Johan Jokinen has become the 19th driver to be confirmed for the 2010 Formula 2 championship

The 19-year-old Dane graduates to the series following a successful test at the Valencia circuit in December, when he set the quickest time on the opening day.

He also shone at the Portimao test later on.

In 2009, Jokinen raced in the F3 Euro Series with the Kolles team and is now aiming for the F2 title.

"Formula 2 is the best thing that could have happened for me at this stage of my career," said Jokinen. "Obviously the value for money is incredible when compared to other series and it gives me the chance to prove myself in equal equipment.

"I have been really impressed with the organisation of the championship and I would like to thank F2 and the Danish federation for making this opportunity possible. I feel at home with the people and the car in Formula 2 - the car feels great and testing went really well.

"Winning the title is my only goal - of course at the beginning I will be targeting points and podiums, but ultimately I want to win the championship."
