Hitech Pulse-Eight confirm Luke Browning for the 2025 season

Hitech Pulse-Eight have announced that Luke Browning will race for the team in Formula 2 next season, their first confirmed driver for 2025.

Browning made the step up to F2 earlier this season in Baku after a stellar 2024 campaign with Hitech in F3 in which he fought for the title until the final race of the year.

The Williams Racing Driver Academy member finished the year with three podiums, including two Feature Race victories in Sakhir and Spielberg.

He goes into 2025 having accumulated F2 experience this year, taking part in the final three rounds of the year in Baku, Lusail, and Yas Marina, scoring … points across the six races.

The 22-year-old will now make the full-time step up to F2 with a team he has raced for since 2022, and he could not be happier.

“I’m so happy that I’ll be racing in F2 with Hitech next season,” said Browning. “I’ve been through every category of single seater racing with this team and to be able to complete the ladder with them is incredibly important and special for me.”

“I would like to thank Oliver Oakes in particular for his support throughout the last three seasons. There is nothing I want more than to win the F2 Championship with this group of people around me, and that is our goal for 2025.”

Hitech Team Manager Clive Hatton added: “After three seasons with Hitech, Luke has worked closely with the team at every stage of his journey up the single-seater ladder. We’re extremely proud of his progression to F2, and to see him get his competitive F1 debut last week in Abu Dhabi.

“With Luke getting the opportunity to step up to Formula 2 for the final three rounds of the current season, coupled with the experience he has gathered from his Formula 1 Free Practice, and the Young Driver Test this week, we couldn’t have wished for better preparation for his 2025 campaign.

“Luke and Hitech share the same objective for 2025 – to win the Formula 2 Championship – and we have no doubt that he will be fighting for victories every step of the way.”
