Should F2 Champions Be Guaranteed A Seat in F1?

On this week’s episode of the Cut to the Race podcast, Oli, Abby and James debate whether Formula 2 champions should be given an F1 seat automatically.

The FIA Formula 2 Championship is the premier feeder series to Formula 1. It was created in 2017 as a replacement for the GP2 Series. Since then, many F2 champions have gone on to have successful careers in Formula 1.

Richard Verschoor, current F2 driver, has expressed his beliefs that the drivers who win F2 should be able to enter F1 as soon as. With all the seats on the grid looking secure for 2024, the panel debate the topic.

They discuss the history of F2 drivers getting into Formula 1 as well as drivers who have had a career in F1 without having competed in F2. The panel also come up with their own ideas of how F2 champions can make it into F1.
