The Indian driver is entering his fourth season in F2 completion, having spent the 2022 campaign with Prema alongside Hauger.
He took one victory across the year, as well as tallying eight podium finishes en route to seventh place in the Drivers’ Championship.
“I’m really pleased to be back in FIA Formula 2, and to be able to team up with MP Motorsport makes it extra special”, said Daruvala.
“Last year, I was stunned by MP’s remarkably consistent front-running pace, and in 2023 I hope to be the beneficiary of that myself!
“Together with Dennis, I’m confident that our combined experience and speed will contribute to MP fighting for wins once again.
“I really enjoyed working with the team in the post-season test and look forward to 2023 testing and the season that lies ahead.”
The 2023 F2 championship will get underway on March 4 at the Bahrain International Circuit.
“We are delighted to welcome Jehan to our FIA F2 team”, said Sander Dorsman, MP’s Team Principal.
“He has been a consistent frontrunner right from his debut in the category, taking wins in every F2 season he has competed in.
“His experience will be of great value to the team, so we are very much aiming for a repeat of last year’s form.
“Also, matching him up with Dennis will allow us to build on a smooth cooperation between teammates who already know each other well. With such a strong driver pairing for 2023, I can’t wait to go racing!”
