Renamed in 2017 to replace the GP2 Series, the FIA F2 is the feeder series to F1. Founded in 2005, the GP2 Series has been a talent incubator that has seen the emergence of several future F1 world champions, such as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, both crowned with ART Grand Prix, respectively in 2005 and 2006. Crowned in 2015 at the wheel of an ART Grand Prix single-seater, Stoffel Vandoorne holds the record for the number of successes in the GP2 Series (11). George Russell in 2018, Nyck de Vries in 2019 and Théo Pourchaire in 2023 won the F2 Drivers World Championship with ART Grand Prix.
Meeting performance and safety criteria similar to those of F1, the F2 series is the ideal training school for young drivers.
