Roman Stanek moves to Invicta Racing for 2025 season

Invicta Racing have confirmed the signing of Roman Stanek for the 2025 Formula 2 season, completing their driver lineup for next year following the announcement of F3 Champion Leonardo Fornaroli.

Stanek returns for a third season in F2 having previously won the 2024 Melbourne Sprint Race having also achieved a further eight points finishes across his previous two years.

Prior to that, the Czech driver fought for the title until the final round of the 2022 Formula 3 Championship, winning one race and achieving a further three podiums.

Speaking following the announcement, Stanek was excited to have the opportunity to race for the 2024 Champions.

“I can’t wait to drive for Invicta Racing in 2025," said Stanek. "The team has been fighting at the front of the field all season, achieved some really great results and is undoubtedly one of the most desirable options in the paddock for next year.

"That means there’ll be some pressure for Leonardo (Fornaroli) and I, but I think we’re up to the challenge. I’m ready for whatever F2 throws at me in 2025.”

Invicta Racing Team Principal Andy Roche added: “We’re thrilled to have Roman onboard for 2025. His experience of F2 in recent years, as well as the other series he’s raced in will be invaluable to Invicta Racing in 2025. I see the partnership between himself and Leonardo (Fornaroli) being extremely fruitful as well. That mix of approaches from a driver who knows the ropes and one fresh to the series will push the team forward, of that I have no doubt.”
