Dino Beganovic will reunite with DAMS in Formula 2 next year, after making his debut with the team at the end of 2024.
The 21-year-old Swede contested the final two rounds of last season with DAMS, and made the podium in just his third race.
He joined Hitech GP for his full-time step up into F2 this year, and sits eighth in the standings with two rounds to go but remains in contention to be championship runner-up. Last time out in Baku he took his maiden win and then his second feature race podium of 2025. Beganovic has also taken a pole and four fastest laps this season.
“I’m extremely happy to return to DAMS for another season in F2,” said Beganovic.
“I felt an instant connection with the team last year — both on a professional and human level — and we showed great potential together, including a podium in Abu Dhabi.
“I’m grateful for the trust they’ve placed in me, and for the continued support from the Ferrari Driver Academy. The goal now is to build on the progress we’ve made and fight consistently at the front.”
Beganovic has driven for Ferrari in two Formula 1 practice sessions this year, and became one of its junior drivers ahead of his car racing debut in 2020. Since then he has been Formula Regional Europe champion and an FIA Formula 3 race-winner.
“We were impressed by Dino’s maturity and professionalism during his first outings with us,” DAMS owner Charles Pic said.
“His work ethic, technical understanding and consistency perfectly match the values of our team. We’re thrilled to welcome him back for this next step in his career, and we’re confident we can achieve great things together.”
