Invicta Racing will enter the championship as the reigning Teams' Champions, having secured their title at the final race of the 2024 season in Abu Dhabi.
Entries
The following teams are scheduled to compete in the 2025 Formula 2 Championship. As the championship is a spec series, all teams will compete with an identical Dallara F2 2024 chassis with a V6 turbo engine developed by Mecachrome. All teams will compete with tyres supplied by Pirelli.
MP Motorsport saw both Franco Colapinto and Dennis Hauger leave the team during the 2024 season, with Colapinto competing in Formula One with Williams Racing from the round at Monza onwards and Hauger moving to Indy NXT with Andretti Global ahead of the round at Abu Dhabi.[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 will return to the team he competed with in 2021 to embark on his fifth season in the championship.[12][13]
Hitech Pulse Eight also enter 2025 with an all-new driver lineup as Paul Aron joined the Alpine F1 Team as a reserve driver and Amaury Cordeel left the team.[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 juniorDino Beganovic, who came sixth in FIA F3 with Prema Racing and entered two F2 rounds with DAMS Lucas Oil.[15][16]
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]
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 deputized for Verschoor during the final two rounds of 2024, and Sami Meguetounif, who will make his F2 debut after finishing eighth with Trident's FIA F3 outfit.[26][27]
The championship is scheduled to visit the same 14 destinations as the year before, with only one major change: the Albert Park Circuit is set to be the season opener for the first time in Formula 2 history, a consequence of Formula One's Australian Grand Prix holding the opening round of their season for the first time since 2019.
Points will be 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 will also receive two points, and one point will be 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 will be given to the driver who set the fastest lap of those inside the top ten. No extra points will be awarded to the pole-sitter in the sprint race as the grid for it will be set by reversing the top ten qualifiers.
Sprint race points
Points will be awarded to the top eight classified finishers, excluding the fastest lap point which will be given to the top ten classified finishers.
Points will be awarded to the top ten classified finishers. Bonus points will be awarded to the pole-sitter and to the driver who set the fastest lap and finished in the top ten.
