Alpine junior, Gabriele Mini has graduated with PREMA into F2 for the 2025 season.
Mini finished his 2024 F3 campaign as the vice-champion in early September and soon received a maiden F2 call-up for Baku, Azerbaijan, with PREMA after Oliver Bearman stepped up to F1 with Haas for the weekend.
The Italian scored a podium finish on his F2 debut in the Baku Sprint and will now make the full-time graduation next season.
Mini is “very happy” to stay with PREMA for a second season after their strong F3 season and positive F2 debut in Baku, but is keen to return the Italian team to the title fight after a difficult year.
“We showed excellent potential and speed throughout the whole year in Formula 3. After the great run at Baku, I hope we will keep working that way to try and fight at the front end of the championship again.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity and I want to thank All Road Management, Alpine, and everyone involved.”
PREMA Team Principal, Rene Rosin is “thrilled” that Alpine have entrusted them to continue Mini’s development next season in F2, and believes that Baku is a solid base to build upon.
“Having an early start was a great opportunity for both, especially because we have maximized it with some impressive results.
“Preparations for the year ahead have already started and the early signs are definitely promising.”
