Team changes

Hitech Grand Prix and Toyota Gazoo Racing's TGR-DC junior programme form a new collaboration in 2025, entering under the Hitech TGR guise.[1][2]

AIX Racing now compete under an Emirati racing licence for the 2025 season following the use of a German racing licence in 2024.[3] This marks the first time in the championship's history an Emirati team competes on the grid.

Driver changes

Reigning Teams' Champions Invicta Racing have an all-new driver lineup as reigning Drivers' Champion Gabriel Bortoleto graduated to Formula One with Sauber, and Kush Maini moved to DAMS.[4][5] Invicta recruited 2024 FIA Formula 3 Champion Leonardo Fornaroli, who makes the full-time step up to Formula 2 after having already raced in the 2024 finale with Rodin Motorsport, and Roman Staněk, who joins the team for his third season in the championship after ending his 2024 campaign early with Trident.[6][7]

Campos Racing replaced one Red Bull junior with another as Arvid Lindblad, fourth in FIA F3 with Prema Racing in 2024, graduates to F2 to replace 2024 runner-up Isack Hadjar, who graduates to Formula One with Racing Bulls.[8][9]

MP Motorsport saw both Franco Colapinto and Dennis Hauger depart the team during the 2024 season, with Colapinto leaving ahead of the Monza round to compete in Formula One with Williams Racing for the rest of the 2024 season, and Hauger leaving the team after the Baku round to move to Indy NXT with Andretti Global.[10][11] The team re-signed the two drivers that substituted for Colapinto and Hauger in 2024 for the full 2025 season: Red Bull junior Oliver Goethe, who came seventh in FIA F3 with Campos Racing, and Richard Verschoor, who returns to the team he competed with in 2021 to embark on his fifth season in the championship.[12][13]

Hitech TGR also enter 2025 with an all-new driver lineup, with Paul Aron joining Alpine F1 Team as a reserve driver, and Amaury Cordeel moving to Rodin Motorsport.[14] The team's lineup consists of two FIA F3 graduates who were already able to collect F2 experience through part-time outings in 2024: Williams Driver Academy member Luke Browning, who finished the FIA F3 season in third, also driving for Hitech before a three-round F2 stint for ART Grand Prix, and Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic, who came sixth in FIA F3 with Prema Racing and entered two F2 rounds with DAMS Lucas Oil.[15][16]

Prema Racing also have an all-new driver lineup as both Oliver Bearman and Andrea Kimi Antonelli graduate to Formula One with Haas and Mercedes, respectively.[17][18] The team promoted FIA F3 runner-up Gabriele Minì to its F2 outfit, where the Italian already deputised for Bearman for one round in 2024, and Sebastián Montoya, who finished seventeenth in FIA F3 with Hitech, with him returning to the team he raced for in FRECA in 2022.[19][20]

DAMS Lucas Oil signed Kush Maini, who leaves Invicta Racing after coming 13th in his second F2 season, to replace Juan Manuel Correa, who had already left the team ahead of the final two rounds of the 2024 season.[5]

ART Grand Prix saw Zak O'Sullivan, who already left the team after the eleventh round of the 2024 season, move to Super Formula with Kondo Racing.[21] The team signed 2023 Super Formula Champion Ritomo Miyata, who finished his rookie F2 season 19th in the standings with Rodin Motorsport, to replace him.[22]

Rodin Motorsport also renewed their lineup as Zane Maloney graduated to Formula E with Lola Yamaha ABT, and Ritomo Miyata moved to ART Grand Prix.[23][22] The team signed two FIA F3 graduates in Christian Mansell, who finished fifth in FIA F3 in 2024 with ART Grand Prix and debuted in F2 with Trident during the final three rounds of 2024, and McLaren junior driver Alex Dunne, who makes his F2 debut after finishing fourteenth in his FIA F3 campaign with MP Motorsport, becoming the first Irish national to compete in Formula 2.[24][25] However, Mansell vacated his seat indefinitely for personal reasons ahead of the start of the season, and was replaced by Amaury Cordeel, who finished 17th with Hitech in 2024.[26][27]

AIX Racing driver Taylor Barnard left the championship after ten rounds of the 2024 season and moved to Formula E to race with NEOM McLaren Formula E Team.[28] 2023 Euroformula Open runner-up Cian Shields, who had already filled Barnard's cockpit during the last two rounds of the 2024 season, replaces him for his full-season debut in 2025.[29]

Trident saw both Verschoor and Staněk leave the team during the 2024 season, with Verschoor joining MP Motorsport ahead of his full-time switch in 2025 and Staněk sitting out the rest of the season before joining Invicta Racing in 2025.[13][7] The team signed two FIA F3 graduates in Max Esterson, who came 21st with Jenzer Motorsport and already deputised for Verschoor during the final two rounds of 2024, and Sami Meguetounif, who makes his F2 debut after finishing eighth with Trident's FIA F3 outfit.[30][31]

Enzo Fittipaldi left Van Amersfoort Racing and the championship ahead of the final two rounds of the 2024 season to move to European Le Mans Series with LMP2 team CLX Motorsport.[32] 2024 GB3 runner-up John Bennett, who replaced Fittipaldi for the final two rounds of 2024, remains at the team for his full-time debut.[33]

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top eight classified finishers in the sprint race, and to the top ten classified finishers in the feature race.[a] 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.
