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. With the teams' and drivers' championships decided, it's time to reflect on the year's highlights and look forward to the next season. What were your favorite moments?
