The 2025 F2 season finale in Abu Dhabi delivered a thrilling conclusion! Joshua Duerksen, starting from eighth, showcased his talent by claiming the top spot on the podium for the second consecutive year. But here's where it gets interesting: Duerksen's win wasn't the only highlight of the race.
The battle for the Teams' Championship was fierce, with Invicta Racing's Roman Stanek securing second place, ensuring they retained the FIA Formula 2 Teams' title. This remarkable achievement places Invicta in an elite group, becoming only the second team to achieve back-to-back victories since PREMA Racing's dominance in 2020 and 2021. A true testament to their consistency and skill!
The Italian team also had reason to celebrate as Gabriele Minì secured a podium finish, thanks to a penalty for speeding in the pit lane that demoted Dino Beganovic. The race showcased the fine margins between success and disappointment, with Hitech TGR's Beganovic missing the podium by a mere 0.2 seconds.
Further down the field, Oliver Goethe continued his impressive late-season form, finishing fifth. The race also saw Arvid Lindblad, bound for F1, recover from a strategy setback to finish ninth. And let's not forget Jak Crawford, who, despite a 10-second penalty, claimed the final point of the season and secured the runner-up spot in the Drivers' Championship.
The 2025 F2 season has been a rollercoaster of emotions and thrilling races.
