Rodin Motorsport’s Zane Maloney leads the Drivers’ Standings after the first six races of 2024, having done the double at Round 1 in Bahrain.

The Barbadian holds a 15-point lead over Estonian Paul Aron, who is his rookie F2 season.

Pre-season favourites Victor Martins and Bearman have six and two points respectively after a difficult start to the year – although Bearman did miss both races in Saudi Arabia, Round 2, when deputising for Carlos Sainz with the Ferrari F1 team.

Hot prospect Andrea Kimi Antonelli has yet to reach the podium but as the series returns to Europe, he’s arriving at familiar tracks.
