Jake Hughes

BIOGRAPHY

After sporadic appearances in 2020 and 2021, Jake Hughes will have a full-time seat on the Formula 2 grid in 2022 with newcomers Van Amersfoort Racing.

Hughes initially made his F2 debut with HWA RACELAB at Sochi in the 2020 season, finishing his maiden race in 12th. He returned for a second outing with the team at Monza in 2021, where he equalled this result.

Hughes remained with the German team at the following round in Sochi where he scored their best F2 finish, taking fourth in the opening Sprint Race. Logan Sargeant took his place for the penultimate round of the season at Jeddah, before Hughes returned for the season finale.

Between appearances for HWA, Hughes spent his time dovetailing roles as a reverse driver for ROKiT Venturi Racing in Formula E and as a simulator driver for Mercedes’ Formula 1 and FE outfits. Hughes enjoyed two years with HWA’s Formula 3 outfit, scoring three wins and eight podiums across 2019 and 2020.
