What the future holds for two Red Bull juniors fighting in the F2 battleground
Despite having two talented drivers, albeit at very different stages of their careers, Prema Racing has had mixed fortunes in FIA Formula 2 this year. Both drivers told Autosport how they rate their seasons so far – and their next steps beyond 2022
Prema Racing was flying high at the end of 2021. Finishing top of the teams’ standings, 156.5 points clear of second-placed Virtuosi, and with Oscar Piastri and Robert Shwartzman taking a 1-2 in the drivers’ championship, the team sealed its second double in as many years.
Entering 2022, the squad secured a strong Red Bull junior driver pairing, with third-year driver Jehan Daruvala joining from Carlin and reigning FIA Formula 3 champion Dennis Hauger making the step up the feeder series ladder with the team.
