Formula2(2024)
The 2024 season marked a pivotal year in Isack’s career as he joined Campos Racing for his second season in Formula 2. From the start, Isack impressed and kept on scoring big results.

Key podiums in Monaco, Belgium, Silverstone, and Qatar were standout moments of a season that solidified his place as one of the most promising drivers. His consistent performance and maturity earned him recognition as a Formula One contender.
