Since 2017, Formula 2 has been the stage for thrilling battles and remarkable victories. Here is a comprehensive list of every race winner in the series so far.
All Formula 2 Race Winners in History
In Formula 2, where all drivers compete with the same type of car and engine, the playing field is remarkably level. Success depends heavily on a combination of team strategy and driver skill.
Winning a race is no easy feat, and it’s rare for any driver to dominate the standings from start to finish.
Each Formula 2 race win highlights a driver’s ability to outperform competitors who have access to identical equipment. Success often comes down to extracting every bit of performance from their car.
Despite the challenges, setting records in Formula 2 is far from impossible. Over the years, some drivers have delivered extraordinary performances, cementing their place in the series’ history.
Below is the complete list of drivers who have claimed at least one victory in Formula 2.
Formula 2 All-Time Wins – Top Three:
#1 –Artem Markelov: Eight Wins
Artem Markelov’s racing career ended in the Formula 2 championship, where he secured an impressive tally of eight race wins. Markelov made his GP2 debut in 2014 and claimed his first victory following the series’ rebranding to Formula 2 in 2017.
That same year, he mounted a strong challenge for the championship title against Charles Leclerc. However, Leclerc’s consistency ultimately left Markelov in second place.
Over his time in the series, Markelov’s experience and skill shone through, leading to a collection of eight memorable victories. His final triumph came in 2018 during the Sprint Race at the Red Bull Ring, where he converted a pole position into a flawless win, maintaining the lead until the very last lap.
#1 –Nyck De Vries: Eight Wins
Nyck De Vries showed adaptability and skill during his time in Formula 2, racing with four different teams over three seasons. He got his first win with Rapax and ended his F2 career in 2019 as the champion with ART Grand Prix, earning four wins that season.
In 2018, he drove for Prema and won three races, but seven finishes without points hurt his chances of fighting for the title.
#1 –Felpe Drugovich: Eight Wins
The 2022 F2 Champion is the last driver who shares the record for the most wins in the series. In his rookie season, Drugovich achieved three victories, demonstrating his potential on the track. However, due to inconsistencies, he finished the season in eighth place.
After a 2021 season with Invicta, where he failed to secure any wins, he moved to MP Motorsport the following year. With the Dutch team, he immediately felt at ease and achieved five victories throughout the season, ultimately becoming champion.
#2 –Charles Leclerc: Seven Wins
Charles Leclerc won seven races in his first Formula 2 season. Driving for Prema Racing in 2017, he started strong with a third-place finish and a win in the opening round.
Leclerc kept up this momentum throughout the year, ending the season with a victory in Abu Dhabi. His incredible performance earned him the F2 championship and a promotion to Formula 1 the following year.

In 2019, Williams Racing struck a deal with him for a full-time seat in their Formula 1 lineup.
#2 –Frederick Vesti: Seven Wins
Another member of the Mercedes family, Frederick Vesti, made his mark in the FIA Formula 2 history. In his rookie debut with ART Grand Prix, he secured one win in the sprint race in Baku, starting from the front row.
In 2023, he won six races, but due to poor results at the end of the season, he failed to claim the championship and had to settle for second place.
#2 – Oliver Bearman: Seven Wins
Vesti’s teammate in 2023, Oliver Bearman, impressed everyone with his debut in F2. His clean sweep at Baku, along with two other wins in his rookie season, quickly put him in the spotlight.
In 2024, despite facing difficulties during the season and his commitments to Formula 1 with Ferrari and Haas, he achieved three additional wins. This performance secured him a spot on the 2025 F1 grid with Haas.
#3 –Nicolas Latifi: Six Wins
During his career in FIA Formula 2, Nicolas Latifi achieved six wins in the three years he raced in the series. All of them came while racing with DAMS, with whom he came very close to fighting for the championship in 2019.
At the beginning of the year, the Canadian seemed in great shape and won one race in the first three rounds. However, upon arriving in Europe, his results worsened while Nyck de Vries took the lead.
#3 – Robert Shwartzman: Six Wins
In 2020, during his debut season, Robert Shwartzman came close to contending for the championship. At the start of the year, he achieved two victories and one podium finish, which put him at the top of the standings.
However, the young driver struggled to maintain his form throughout the rest of the season, and although he secured two more wins, he ultimately finished fourth in the final standings.
In 2021, it appeared to be another opportunity for him to fight for the title. However, the additional two victories he achieved were not enough to secure the championship against the impressive Oscar Piastri.
#3 –Oscar Piastri: Six Wins
The Australian driver has achieved remarkable success in the feeder series. In his second season of Formula Renault, Oscar Piastri won the title, outperforming Victor Martins.
He then went on to win back-to-back championships in Formula 3 and Formula 2, establishing an impressive trajectory. During his rookie season in Formula 2, he secured six victories and achieved at least one podium finish in every round of the 2021 calendar.

Throughout his three years in the series, he collected additional victories and ultimately became the champion.
#3 – Jack Doohan: Six Wins
Jack Doohan made his Formula 2 debut in 2021, stepping in for Richard Verschoor at MP Motorsport for the last two rounds. His first victory came the following year with Invicta Virtuosi Racing at Silverstone.

#3 – Luca Ghiotto: Six Wins
In his four years in Formula 2, Luca Ghiotto achieved six wins. His first victory came during his season debut in 2017. However, it wasn’t until two years later that he began to fight for the championship.
