Jak Crawford to remain with DAMS Lucas Oil for the 2025 F2 season

DAMS Lucas Oil is delighted to announce that Jak Crawford will once again compete for the team in the 2025 FIA Formula 2 season.
 

The Aston Martin Driver Development Programme member has impressed during his first year with the squad in 2024, taking victory in Barcelona along with four further podiums. With events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi to come, Crawford currently sits a positive fifth in the standings on 116 points.
 

Still only 19, the American will be entering his third season in the series and looks to use his experience in the category to embark on an even stronger campaign in 2025. Crawford is set for a busy year, combining his F2 drive with increased work for Aston Martin Formula 1 Team. The 2025 Formula 2 season starts in Melbourne, Australia on 14-16 March. The full calendar can be found here.



 

Jak Crawford: “I’m really happy to be continuing with DAMS Lucas Oil for 2025 following on from a positive campaign so far in 2024. We’ve still got two rounds of this season to go as we’re pushing for a top-five finish, and I hope that we can take a further step forward next year, to be challenging more regularly at the front. I can see how determined everyone in the team is to compete further up the grid, which is why I’ve decided to stay for a second year. Motor racing is a team sport and not an individual one, so we’ll improve together and hopefully next year we can see the rewards on track.”
 

Charles Pic, Team Owner: “We’re thrilled to retain Jak for the 2025 season after a year that has produced both high and low points. Throughout the campaign, he's kept his head down and worked hard, which shows his great attitude. It’s a pleasure to continue with him for a second season, and our objective is to consistently compete at the front of the grid. Jak has shown his ability this year, appearing on the podium five times and putting in several strong performances.”
