Research notes
FIA Formula 2 official team page Team Members section publicly listed. Maurizio Salvadori came from the Italian music touring and promotion industry, founding the Trident agency in 1970 and organising tours for King Crimson, Genesis, Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and others through the 1970s-1990s. He served as CEO of Clear Channel/Live Nation Milan from 2001-2004, then relaunched Trident Music in 2004. Driven by his passion for motorsport, he founded Trident Motorsport in 2006 and has served as Team Principal ever since, leading the team across GP2/F2, F3 and other series. The Trident official website team page explicitly states that Maurizio Salvadori founded Trident Motorsport in 2006 and serves as Team Principal, perfectly matching the batch information. The Trident Music website details the same Maurizio Salvadori's music promotion career (founded Trident agency in 1970, relaunched Trident Music in 2004), consistent with multiple interviews describing his background of 'moving from the music business into motorsport'.
