The 2024 Yas Island Formula 2 round was a motor racing event that held between 6 and 8 December 2024 at the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was the final round of the 2024 Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Gabriel Bortoleto won the drivers' title after finishing second in the Feature Race behind eventual race winner Joshua Dürksen. His nearest rival Isack Hadjar suffered a problem at the start already, which caused him to drop down to the back of the field with no chance of making a comeback. Bortoleto became the fourth rookie in the modern Formula 2 era to win the championship and the fourth driver after Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Oscar Piastri to win both Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships in consecutive seasons as a rookie.

Background

Driver Changes

Zane Maloney departed Rodin Motorsport ahead of the final race at Yas Marina as he moved to Lola Yamaha ABT in Formula E, which started its 2024–25 season at the same weekend. Reigning FIA Formula 3 Champion Leonardo Fornaroli replaced him ahead of a full-time graduation in 2025 with Invicta Racing.[1]

Going into the final round of the season, championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto and runner-up Isack Hadjar were only separated by half a point in the drivers' standings, having scored 188.5 points and 188 points across the previous 13 rounds, respectively. Paul Aron, who entered the round as third-placed driver, had only outsider chances on the championship title, being 25.5 points further behind Bortoleto in the standings.

In the teams' standings, Invicta Racing led with 262.5 points, 30.5 points ahead of Campos Racing on 231 points, 62 points ahead of MP Motorsport on 200.5 points and 64.5 points ahead of Hitech Pulse-Eight with 65 points still available.
