DAMS has completed its 2026 Formula 2 line-up by signing rookie Roman Bilinski to partner the returning Dino Beganovic.
Anglo-Polish driver Bilinski steps up from the FIA Formula 3 Championship, in which he came 11th this year as a rookie with Rodin Motorsport. He started his season on the podium, returned to it in Monaco’s feature race and won Monza’s sprint race.
Prior to that he did three Formula Regional European Championship seasons with Trident, two podiums being the highlights of that spell, and was the 2024 FRegional Oceania champion. In 2021 he won three races in GB3, having stepped up mid-season from British Formula 4 where he failed to net a victory.
“Joining such a historic team as DAMS is a real honour,” said Bilinski. “F2 is an incredible challenge, and I’m ready to give everything to represent the team at the highest level.
“I’ve learned a lot over the past few years and can’t wait to turn that experience into results on track. I’d like to thank DAMS for giving me this opportunity and for their trust.”
He partners Beganovic, who made his F2 debut with DAMS in late 2024, has raced for Hitech GP this season and was announced last month as returning to his former team.
“Roman brings a very balanced profile, quick, smart, and consistent,” DAMS’ owner Charles Pic commented.
“His success in Oceania confirmed both his potential and his professional approach. He joins DAMS with great energy and a strong desire to progress. We’re looking forward to supporting him as he takes this important step in his career.”
