After the season-closing round at the Yas Marina Circuit, Hitech GP has confirmed that Dino Beganovic will graduate to Formula 2 next season after his debut races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

Hitech Pulse-Eight have confirmed that Dino Beganovic will be stepping up to Formula 2 full-time with the team next season, completing their 2025 lineup.

Beganovic graduated to F2 for the final two rounds of the 2024 season, scoring 22 points across the Lusail and Yas Marina weekends, including a P3 finish in the final Sprint Race of the year

This followed his title-contending 2024 Formula 3 season in which he achieved two victories and a further two podiums on his way to ending up sixth in the Standings.

Prior to that, the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy member won the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, and following the announcement of his plans for 2025, the Swede expressed his delight at the news.

“I’m thrilled to join Hitech GP for my first full season in Formula 2 next year,” said Beganovic. “Having had a brief introduction to F2 over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been really impressed by the car and the level of the championship.

“Stepping up full time in 2025 with one of the series’ top teams is an amazing opportunity,” Dino continued. “I’m tremendously grateful to Hitech, Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy, and everyone else who made this possible. It’s a big, important step in my career and I can’t wait to start working with the team this week at the post-season test.”

Hitech Team Manager Clive Hatton added: “We’re delighted to welcome Dino for our 2025 Formula 2 campaign. Having competed against him for several years, it is great to have him driving for Hitech and we look forward to working with him.

“Dino’s record in single-seater racing is impressive. After two highly competitive seasons in Formula 3, he took his F2 debut in his stride in Lusail, demonstrating that he was ready to take the next step up the ladder. His performance in Abu Dhabi one week later was outstanding.

“Together with Luke, we have a strong line-up to fight for the Formula 2 Championship title next year. They each bring F2 race experience that will be invaluable heading into testing and the new season.”
