Jak Crawford stays with DAMS Lucas Oil for 2025 Formula 2 season

DAMS Lucas Oil have retained Jak Crawford for the 2025 Formula 2 season, announcing that their partnership with the American driver is set to continue for a second consecutive campaign.

Crawford switched to DAMS for 2024, achieving five podiums including a Feature Race victory in Barcelona and with two rounds remaining, the 19-year-old is currently fifth in the Drivers’ Championship.

Speaking following the announcement, the Aston Martin Development Programme expressed his delight at returning for another campaign with the French squad.

“I’m really happy to be continuing with DAMS Lucas Oil for 2025 following on from a positive campaign so far in 2024,” said Crawford. “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.”

Team Owner Charles Pic added: “We’re thrilled to retain Jak for the 2025 season after a year that has produced both high and low points. Throughout the campaign, Jak has kept his head down and worked hard, which shows his great attitude.

“It’s a pleasure to continue with Jak 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.”
