The 2024 Lusail FIA Formula 2 round was a motor racing event held between 29 November and 1 December 2024 and was the first time Formula 2 raced at the Lusail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar. It was the penultimate round of the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix.

Driver Changes

[edit]

Four drivers left the Formula 2 grid ahead of the Lusail round. Juan Manuel Correa left DAMS Lucas Oil and was replaced by Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic, who finished the F3 championship in sixth position.[1]

Dennis Hauger was confirmed to join Andretti Global for the 2025 Indy NXT season[2] and decided to leave MP Motorsport for the last two rounds of the season to focus on next year. Richard Verschoor, who has driven for MP Motorsport in previous seasons, returned to the team to replace Hauger until the end of next season.[3] Verschoor's seat at Trident was filled by American F3 graduate Max Esterson.[4]

Cian Shields joined AIX Racing for the remainder of the season, after the departure of Niels Koolen, who replaced Taylor Barnard for the Monza and Baku rounds.[5]

Van Amersfoort Racing driver Enzo Fittipaldi left F2 before the final two rounds following his appointment by Arrow McLaren as an evaluation test driver for IndyCar.[6] In his place, the team announced John Bennett, the runner-up of the GB3 Championship.[7]

Notes

  • ^1 - Gabriel Bortoleto finished first on the road, but received a five-second penalty for crossing the pit lane line after the bollard, which dropped him down to third place. [19]
  • ^2 - Richard Verschoor received a ten-second penalty for an unsafe release in the pit lane[20] and a ten second stop-and-go penalty for unlapping himself during a Safety Car period without authorisation; because the penalty was not served during the race, it was converted into a 30 second time penalty. [21]
  • ^3 - Victor Martins took the chequered flag, but was not classified as he only completed 25 laps of racing, which constituted less than 90% of the race distance.
