This week, from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 July, the second and final round of the FIA European Championship KZ-KZ2 is set to take place.

Luke Browning to drive in FIA Formula 2 with Hitech for 2025 season

Luke Browning to drive in FIA Formula 2 with Hitech for 2025 season

Williams Racing Academy Driver Luke Browning will make his full-time debut in FIA Formula 2 with Hitech GP for the 2025 season.
 

After an impressive 2024 campaign in Formula 3, the British driver stepped up to Formula 2 for the final three rounds of this season with ART Grand Prix. He scored points on his debut in Baku, with a seventh-place finish in the Feature Race, and followed that up with more points for sixth place in the Sprint Race at Abu Dhabi’s season finale. 
 

Luke will be making his return to Hitech after competing in the 2022 GB3 Championship and the 2023 and 2024 Formula 3 seasons with the team. He also put on a dominant display at the historic Macau Grand Prix with Hitech in 2023, qualifying in pole position and securing both the win and the fastest lap in the race. The progression to a full-time Formula 2 drive marks the latest step on Luke’s Williams Racing Driver Academy journey, which began when he joined in 2023.
 

As reward for a promising Academy career so far, Luke had the opportunity to drive the FW46 during Free Practice 1 in Abu Dhabi and will be driving Alex Albon’s car in this week’s end-of-season Young Driver Test at the Yas Marina Circuit.
 

The Williams Racing Driver Academy has a proud tradition of supporting young talent, which has most recently seen Academy product Franco Colapinto graduate to an F1 race seat. The Driver Academy supports drivers on every rung of the motorsport ladder, working with them on and off the track to develop the skills necessary to race at the top level.    
 

Luke Browning: “I’m so happy that I’ll be racing in F2 with Hitech next season. I’ve been through every category of single-seater racing with this team and to be able to complete the ladder with them is incredibly important and special for me. There is nothing I want more than to win the F2 Championship with this group of people around me, and that is our goal for 2025.”
 

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Williams Racing: “I’m looking forward to seeing Luke begin his first full season in Formula 2 after earning a well-deserved seat with Hitech GP for 2025. Luke’s performance in Formula 3 and his initial three weekends in Formula 2 have demonstrated his capabilities against his peers, proving he is well-prepared for the season ahead. We will continue to support Luke’s development as part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy and closely follow his progress in 2025.”
