Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic replaces Correa in the final rounds in Formula 2

Ferrari Driver Academy member Dino Beganovic will replace Juan Manuel Correa for the final two rounds of the 2024 Formula 2 season, confirmed the DAMS Lucas Oil F2 outfit.

Ferrari junior driver Beganovic will step up to the second tier, after having raced in Formula 3 in 2024. The 20-year-old driver fought for the Championship until the final round, finishing the year sixth in the standings with two victories and an additional two podiums.

Prior to that, the Ferrari Driver Academy prospect won the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine after also enjoying a trophy-laden karting career.

DAMS has now confirmed that Beganovic will replace Juan Manuel Correa for the final two rounds of the F2 season, which will take place in Lusail and Yas Marina.

“I can’t wait to make my Formula 2 debut with DAMS Lucas Oil, who has so much history as well as tremendous drive to achieve great results,” said Beganovic. “This feels like the natural next step in my career, and I’m ready for the challenge in an extremely competitive championship.

“My aim for these two races is to learn as much as possible and to be scoring points in my first F2 action in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.”

DAMS Lucas Oil Team Owner Charles Pic added: “We’re excited to take on a talent like Dino for the remainder of the season. It’s a step up from Formula 3 and a very competitive championship, but we’re confident that with the help of the team Dino can be competitive in these final two rounds.

“He has an excellent racing CV, and we believe he has what it takes to fight for strong points. I would also like to thank JM for his efforts this season, it was a pleasure to work with him and we wish him all the best for the future.”
