The 2019 Formula 2 championship was awarded to Danish driver Nick de Vries. Vries won the season with 266 points, a margin of 52 points. He was 24 years old at the time, which may seem young, but is relatively old for a F2 driver. This was the second ART Grand Prix racer to win an F2 title, which at the time gave them the most in the modern F2 era.

Charles Leclerc had one, if not the most, dominant seasons in Formula 2 history.

The 2009 season was dominated by Spanish driver Andy Soucek. Soucek clinched the season after a featured race win during the sixth stage of the season. Although his 51 point margin of victory may seem small, Soucek was able to put the finishing touches on the season winning the featured and sprint race in the last stage of the season. Any Soucek was never able to make it to the F1 level but he remains an integral part of Formula Twos history.
