Season report
First half
The 2025 Fórmula 2 Argentina season began in February at Autódromo Ciudad de Viedma with Martínez Competición's Valentín Jara dominating both qualifying and the pre-final, claiming a new track record upon setting pole position and leading series debutants and teammates Stefano Polini and Joaquín Rubino lights-to-flag in the opening race.[23] Jara doubled down in the final on Sunday, claiming a second unchallenged victory to end the weekend with a substantial championship lead. Polini and Rubino once again made up the rest of the podium to give Martínez Competición a second podium lockout in as many races.[24]
The Autódromo Parque Provincia del Neuquén hosted round two, where Aimar Motorsport's Ignacio Monti claimed pole position for the pre-final.[25] However, it was Gabriel Werner Competición's Valentino Alaux who starred in the first race, taking the lead by turn two and claiming the victory. Monti dropped to fourth, behind Ignacio Diaz of LR Team and Federico Piper of Gabriel Werner as points leader Jara was unable to start the race.[26] The second race saw a three-way battle for the lead between Alaux, Piper and Diaz, with the latter eventually coming out on top to take the victory. Jara bounced back to claim second place, while third went to LR Team's Jorge Bruno.[27]
Round three was held at Autódromo Provincia de La Pampa. Jara led the field in qualifying to take pole position, before repeating the feat in the pre-final. He converted his grid position into a lights-to-flag victory ahead of Piper and Alaux, bolstering his championship lead in the process.[28] That handed him pole position for the final on Sunday. He kept Piper in check behind him and looked set to win, until Piper attacked. That brought other cars behind closer to the battle, and Polini pounced to take a lead he would not give up. He took his maiden win in the series ahead of Bruno and Alaux, with Jara relegated to fourth and Piper unable to finish the race in the end.[29]
Teams and drivers traveled north to the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo for round four, and Jara was once the man with the best single-lap pace as he took another pole position in qualifying. The pre-final was closely contested between polesitter Jara, Diaz and ESG Fórmula's Simón Volpi, but Jara held on to take victory.[30] He doubled down on his efforts in the final on Sunday, taking another win and further growing his championship lead over the chasing field. Volpi climbed one spot in the race to take second place and leave his second weekend of the championship with two podiums, while Diaz claimed third place to move into second place in the championship standings.
