The 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship is a motor racing championship for Formula 2 cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The championship is the fifty-eighth season of Formula 2 racing and the eighth season run under the FIA Formula 2 Championship moniker. It is an open-wheel racing category serving as the second tier of formula racing in the FIA Global Pathway. The category is run in support of selected rounds of the 2024 Formula One World Championship. As the championship is a spec series, all teams and drivers competing in the championship run the same car, the Dallara F2 2024.

The 2024 season saw the debut of a new chassis and engine package.[1]

ART Grand Prix entered the championship as the reigning Teams' Champions, having secured their title at the final race of the 2023 season in Abu Dhabi.

Team changes[edit]

Following the partnership that saw Invicta Watch Group become Virtuosi Racing's title sponsor in 2023, the company purchased an ownership stake in the team and entered the 2024 season under the Invicta Racing guise.[3]

After Rodin Cars became Carlin's majority shareholder in 2023 and rebranded the team as Rodin Carlin, the Carlin family departed the team, with Rodin taking full ownership and renaming the team Rodin Motorsport.[4] Rodin became the championship's first team ever to run under a non-European nationality.

PHM Racing now operated independently of Charouz Racing System, after the latter co-ran the team during the 2023 season. Ahead of the season, PHM also announced the AIX Investment Group as a new title sponsor, changing the team's name to PHM AIX Racing.[5]

DAMS became DAMS Lucas Oil following a strengthened sponsorship deal with American oil company Lucas Oil.[6]

Driver changes[edit]

Reigning champion Théo Pourchaire left ART Grand Prix and the series, moving to Japan to compete in the Super Formula Championship with Team Impul.[7] Williams Driver Academy member Zak O'Sullivan replaced him, having finished second in the previous year's FIA Formula 3 season with Prema Racing.[8]

Prema Racing saw 2023 runner-up Frederik Vesti leave the championship to join Cool Racing to compete in the LMP2 class of the European Le Mans Series.[9] Vesti was replaced by Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who skipped over FIA Formula 3 after securing the Formula Regional European Championship title in 2023.[10]

Rodin Motorsport replaced VAR-bound Enzo Fittipaldi with reigning Super Formula Champion Ritomo Miyata, who switched to racing in Europe to prepare for his endurance racing efforts with Toyota.[11][12]

DAMS saw both their drivers leave F2, with Ayumu Iwasa returning to Japan to compete in the Super Formula Championship with Team Mugen and Arthur Leclerc moving to the Italian GT Championship.[13][14] The team fielded an all-American driver lineup in 2024, consisting of Jak Crawford, who moved over from Hitech Pulse-Eight after coming 13th in the championship in 2023, and Juan Manuel Correa, who left Van Amersfoort Racing after coming 19th in his first year since returning after his accident in 2019.[15][16]

Invicta Racing also had an all-new driver lineup, after Amaury Cordeel and Jack Doohan departed the team, with the former joining Hitech Pulse-Eight and the latter focusing on his reserve driver work for Alpine in Formula One.[17][18] Invicta's 2024 lineup consisted of reigning FIA Formula 3 Champion and McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto, partnered by Alpine junior Kush Maini, who switched from Campos Racing after coming eleventh with the team last season.[19]

MP Motorsport saw Jehan Daruvala leave the team ahead of the 2023 season finale as he left the series after four seasons to join Maserati MSG Racing for Season 10 of the Formula E World Championship.[20] The team fielded Williams Driver Academy member Franco Colapinto during the final round of 2023, and he stayed at the team for his first full-time F2 season, graduating after coming fourth with the team in FIA Formula 3.[21]

Both Van Amersfoort Racing drivers moved to other teams, with Juan Manuel Correa signing for DAMS and Richard Verschoor joining Trident.[16][22] VAR enlisted Enzo Fittipaldi, who left Rodin to embark on his third full season in the championship.[11] Rafael Villagómez partnered him, graduating from the team's FIA F3 outfit after three seasons in that championship that culminated in him finishing his 2023 campaign in 25th.[23]

Hitech Pulse-Eight also saw both their drivers switch teams, with Jak Crawford moving to DAMS and Isack Hadjar switching to Campos Racing.[15][24] They were replaced by Paul Aron, who already made his debut at the final round of 2023 with Trident after coming third in the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and Amaury Cordeel, who left Invicta Racing to embark on his third season in the championship after previously finishing 17th and 20th.[17]

Campos Racing driver Ralph Boschung ended his racing career after seven seasons in Formula 2, while his 2023 teammate Kush Maini moved to Invicta for his sophomore season.[25][19] The Spanish team had an all-Red Bull junior lineup in 2024, consisting of Pepe Martí, who graduated from the outfit's FIA Formula 3 team after coming fifth in 2023, and Isack Hadjar, who moved over from Hitech Pulse-Eight after coming 14th in 2023.[24]

Trident saw Richard Verschoor return to the team for his fourth F2 campaign after last racing for them in 2022.[22] He replaced Clément Novalak, who had already left the team ahead of the 2023 final to focus on competing in the 2024 European Le Mans Series with Inter Europol Competition.[26]

PHM AIX Racing saw another long-term F2 driver leave the series, with Roy Nissany stepping away from the championship after six years of competition. He was replaced by Joshua Dürksen, who mirrored Antonelli in stepping up directly from the Formula Regional European Championship, albeit after two seasons of competing there and taking a single podium.[27] Josh Mason did also not return to the team, with Taylor Barnard being named as his replacement. He graduated to Formula 2 after a race-winning campaign with Jenzer Motorsport in FIA Formula 3, where he finished tenth in the championship.[28]

Calendar changes[edit]

Regulation changes[edit]

Technical regulations[edit]

  • The season saw the introduction of a brand new chassis and engine package. The Dallara F2 2018 chassis, which had been used by Formula 2 since the 2018 season, was replaced by the new Dallara F2 2024 chassis, which was adapted to the current concept of a Formula One car. Like last season, a turbocharged 3.4-litre V6 Mecachrome engine is being used, albeit being an evolution of the previous one.[31]
  • Formula 2 ran with 55% sustainable fuel supplied by Aramco in 2023.[32] An increase in sustainability was implemented for 2024 to continue working towards the usage of 100% sustainable fuel by 2027.[33]

Sporting regulations[edit]

From this season, a new rule in order to try and prevent drivers benefitting from causing red flags during qualifying sessions was brought in for both the Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 championships. Thus, if the stewards deem a driver to be the sole cause for the issuing of a red flag, the driver responsible will have their fastest lap time of that session deleted, as well as being prevented from taking any further part in that session.[34]

Season report[edit]

Round 1: Bahrain[edit]

Kush Maini set the fastest qualifying time for the opening round at Bahrain International Circuit, but was later disqualified from the results for a technical infringement. Gabriel Bortoleto therefore inherited feature race pole position. Jak Crawford qualified tenth to start the reverse-grid sprint race from first place. ART Grand Prix drivers Victor Martins and Zak O'Sullivan gained places to run second and third in the opening laps, but would later drop outside the podium positions. In the following laps, eighth-place starter Zane Maloney made overtakes to take second place by lap six, and passed Crawford for the lead two laps later. Maloney held the position for the remainder of the race to claim his first Formula 2 race win. The podium was completed by Crawford and Pepe Martí, who started eleventh and claimed a podium finish on his Formula 2 debut.

Pole-sitter Bortoleto immediately fell to third place at the start of the feature race behind Isack Hadjar and Maloney, who improved from third to first. Bortoleto then collided with Hadjar at the first corner, causing Bortoleto to lose further positions and to take a penalty. Hadjar was then hit by Enzo Fittipaldi, eliminating both drivers from the race and necessitating the deployment of the safety car. The safety car was later deployed again to recover Victor Martins's broken-down car. Maloney maintained his lead during the restarts to claim victory in consecutive races. Martí and Paul Aron, both of whom started outside the top ten, finished second and third respectively. Maloney's double victory placed him first in the Drivers' Championship at the end of the round, 12 points ahead of second-placed Martí.

Round 2: Saudi Arabia[edit]

Oliver Bearman set the fastest qualifying time at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, but later withdrew from the round to replace Carlos Sainz Jr. at Ferrari for the remainder of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.[35] Kush Maini inherited feature race pole position as the second-fastest qualifier. Paul Aron started the sprint race from first place and maintained his position at the start. The safety car was deployed on the opening lap when Victor Martins hit the wall and retired. Aron was overtaken for the lead by Richard Verschoor on lap 8, and again by Dennis Hauger for second place with three laps remaining. Verschoor crossed the line first, but was later disqualified from the results along with Trident teammate Roman Staněk for a technical violation, promoting Hauger to victory and Enzo Fittipaldi to the podium. Championship leader Zane Maloney, who had qualified 15th, improved to fourth in the race.

At the start of the feature race, pole-sitter Maini held his lead, and a poor start from third-placed Martins allowed Fittipaldi to move up into the podium positions. The safety car was deployed shortly afterwards to recover the collided cars of Pepe Martí and Roman Staněk. Fittipaldi gained a place on Jak Crawford during the early pit stops, and later overtook Maini for the net race lead. On lap 16, damage from contact with the wall forced Franco Colapinto into retirement. The resultant safety car allowed Amaury Cordeel, who started 20th, to make his pit stop and retain his position at the front. He held on to a podium position until the final corner of the final lap, when fifth-placed Hauger passed him and Crawford to claim third. Fittipaldi's victory was his second in the category, and promoted him to second in the Drivers' Championship, 15 points behind leader Maloney.

Round 3: Australia[edit]

Dennis Hauger took his first pole position in Formula 2 in Melbourne ahead of Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Richard Verschoor. At the start of the sprint race, a collision between Isack Hadjar, Pepe Martí and Gabriel Bortoleto immediately off the start line eliminated the latter two. Hadjar then took the lead from sprint pole-sitter Roman Staněk at the first corner before the safety car was deployed. After racing resumed, a group of cars challenged Staněk for second place before Antonelli and Verschoor both spun out and Paul Aron damaged his front wing, causing another safety car period. Hauger, who started tenth, overtook Kush Maini on the penultimate lap to claim the final podium position. Hadjar crossed the finish line first but was later judged to have caused the first-lap crash. He received a 10-second time penalty, promoting Staněk to the top step of the podium, which marked his first win and podium finish in Formula 2.

Antonelli overtook Hauger for the lead of the feature race on the opening lap, but Hauger reclaimed the position shortly afterwards. Maini, who started fourth, soon passed both drivers to claim first place. Most of the top ten then made pit stops to shed their soft-compound tyres, with the exception of Maini, who started on the harder compound, and eighth-placed Hadjar. Pole-sitter Hauger crashed on his lap out of the pits, causing a safety car deployment. This allowed Hadjar to make his pit stop and emerge ahead of all drivers who had pitted. Hadjar took the lead when Maini made his pit stop and claimed his first victory of the season, with the podium completed by Aron and Maloney, who made overtakes after their pit stops. Maloney held his lead of the Drivers' Championship, 15 points ahead of Aron.

Scoring system[edit]

Points are awarded to the top eight classified finishers in the sprint race, and to the top ten classified finishers in the feature race. The pole-sitter in the feature race also receives two points, and one point is given to the driver who set the fastest lap in both the feature and sprint races, provided that driver finished inside the top ten. If the driver who set the fastest lap is classified outside the top ten, the point is given to the driver who set the fastest lap of those inside the top ten. No extra points are awarded to the pole-sitter in the sprint race as the grid for it is set by reversing the top ten qualifiers.

Sprint race points

Points are awarded to the top eight classified finishers, excluding the fastest lap point which is given to the top ten classified finishers.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Oliver Bearman was entered into the Jeddah round, but later withdrew after getting called up by Scuderia Ferrari to compete in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Formula One.
  2. ^ Enzo Fittipaldi set the fastest lap but did not finish in the top 10, so was ineligible to score the point for it. Zane Maloney scored the point for setting the fastest lap of those finishing in the top 10.
  3. ^ Kush Maini set the fastest time in qualifying, but he was later disqualified due to his left undertray front external strake being below the required minimum height. Gabriel Bortoleto was promoted to pole position in his place.[36]
  4. ^ Richard Verschoor finished first on track, but was disqualified as his team installed an incorrect throttle pedal progressivity map on his car. Dennis Hauger therefore inherited the win.
  5. ^ Oliver Bearman set the fastest time in qualifying, but withdrew from the sprint and feature races to compete in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Formula One. Kush Maini was promoted to pole position in his place.
  6. ^ Isack Hadjar finished first on track, but received a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision at the race start. Roman Staněk therefore inherited the win.
