Season report
First half The 2025 season began at Monza with defending champion Benjámin Berta claiming pole position for Franz Wöss Racing in qualifying. That saw him start eighth for the opening sprint race, in which he quickly rose to second place, but found no way past Jo Zeller Racing's Sandro Zeller. Viola Formula's Andrea Benalli took third as his teammate Luis Aguiar claimed the win in F2.0 on his debut in the series. Berta bounced back in the feature race, delivering a commanding performance in wet conditions to lead Zeller and STAC's Jérémy Clavaud lights-to-flag and take the championship lead. Aguiar took another win in the F2.0 Cup to cement an early lead over Speed Motor's Karim Sartori.
Qualifying for round two at Mugello saw Berta on top once again. He only needed one lap to claim the lead from eighth on the grid in the reversed-grid sprint race, leading Zeller and teammate Stig Larsen to an unchallenged victory as Aguiar also extended his winning streak in the F2.0 Cup. The feature race began with contact between Berta and Zeller, with the former retiring and the latter penalized. That left Benalli leading Nannini's Davide Pedetti and Team Hoffmann's Andre Petropoulos, taking the win in a race further interrupted by a red flag after multiple collisions. The picture in the F2.0 Cup was untroubled by the shake-up in the overall order, with Aguiar claiming his fourth win in a row.
Vallelunga hosted round three, and Berta continued his unbeaten streak in qualifying. His rise to the front in the sprint race was interrupted by a safety car, but when it was withdrawn, Berta and Zeller both attacked race leader Clavaud. Berta claimed the victory ahead of Zeller, with Larsen third. In F2.0, a qualifying accident for Aguiar forced him to miss the race, with Sartori claiming the win. The feature race brought a race-long battle between Zeller and Berta, with both leading at different stages before the Swiss came out in front to shorten the Hungarian's championship lead to only seven points. Petropoulos took third, while Sartori led Aguiar in F2.0, closing up further to the Portuguese.
The series returned to Mugello four round four, and Berta claimed another pole position. Zeller got a brilliant start to the sprint race to take the lead right away, with Berta taking longer to move through the field. That allowed Zeller to build a gap, and Berta was unable to challenge him for the victory. Larsen took another podium in third as the title battle in F2.0 heated up when Aguiar retired in the gravel and Sartori won the race. Zeller took the lead of the feature race for a single corner, before Berta got back in front and controlled the rest of the race as Benalli completed the podium. Sartori led Aguiar in F2.0 to take his fourth win in a row and with it the championship lead in the F2.0 Cup.
Second half Round five saw the series' debut at Brno Circuit. Contrary to the other events, a separate qualifying session was held for the sprint race, in which Berta continued his pole position streak. Wet conditions saw the sprint race start under safety car conditions, but when racing got underway, Berta managed the race ahead of Zeller and Benalli to take a largely unchallenged victory. Berta doubled up in the second qualifying session to take another pole position, followed by an equally dominant display in the feature race. Leading Zeller and Benalli once again, untroubled by a mid-race safety car, Berta was able to sweep the weekend and significantly bolster his championship lead.
