Current season

The FIA Formula 2 Championship[1] is a second-tier single-seater championship organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Held on racing circuits, the championship was introduced in 2017, following the rebranding of the long-term Formula One feeder series GP2. The series' original founders were Flavio Briatore and current managing director Bruno Michel. It is the last step on the FIA Global Pathway from Karting to Formula One. While it is not absolutely necessary to do so, most current F1 drivers have participated in either Formula 2 or GP2 before graduating to Formula One. The aim of F2 is to be the pinnacle of junior motorsport and select the best drivers for F1[2], however this has been questioned in 2024 after Oliver Bearman and Kimi Antonelli from 15th and 6th place were both signed by F1 teams while F2 champions like Felipe Drugovic and Pourchaire weren't promoted. [3][4]

Formula 2 is designed to make racing relatively affordable for the teams and to make it an ideal training ground for life in Formula One. The series is a spec series; all teams are required to use the same chassis, engine, and tire supplier. Formula 2 mainly races on European and Middle Eastern circuits, but has appearances at other international race tracks as well, such as the Albert Park Circuit in Australia.

The Formula 2 chassis is developed by Italian manufacturer Dallara. While significantly slower than Formula One cars, the Formula 2 championship cars are faster than most other circuit racing vehicles. All iterations of the Formula 2 chassis aim to closely mirror Formula One cars in terms of safety, aesthetics, system functionalities, performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. In 2024, the series introduced ground effect to align with similar developments shown in Formula One cars, and chassis development is set to continue over the 2024, 2025, and 2026 seasons, aligning with the gradual increase in sustainable fuel components, targeting 100% synthetic sustainable fuels by 2027.[5]
