Theo Pourchaire, the winner of Formula 2, expressed his annoyance by calling it "unfair" because drivers who haven't won the championship are getting promoted to Formula 1 before those who have. Kimi Antonelli was named by Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton's successor, he is getting ready for his Formula One debut.

Three rookies are confirmed for the 2025 Formula One season; none of them have won an F2 championship. Oliver Bearman and Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who are not expected to win the title this year, have reserved places with Mercedes and Haas, respectively. Alpine has rewarded Jack Doohan with a promotion. His highest F2 performance came in third in 2023. There could be more new faces in the near future. Liam Lawson might sign with a Red Bull squad, while Audi hasn't decided who will partner Nico Hulkenberg for the upcoming season. Audi may choose Pourchaire, the F2 champion from the previous year who is presently with Sauber.
