Jake Hughes

Jake Hughes (born 30 May 1994 in Birmingham, West Midlands, UK) is a British racing driver, who made his FIA Formula 2 Championship debut during the 2020 season with BWT HWA Racelab. A veteran of the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Hughes arrived in F2 in place of Giuliano Alesi, who left HWA midway through the 2020 season.

Background
Hughes began his racing career at the age of fourteen, racing in various UK karting championships through to 2012. 2012 would also see Hughes make his debut in single-seaters, entering single rounds of the Formula Renault BARC full and winter championships. That earned his a full season seat in the inaugural BRDC F4 Championship for 2014, with Hughes going on to claim the first BRDC F4 title with four wins.

Renault Rumbles: 2014 - 2015
For 2014 Hughes moved into the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC for the full season, while also racing in the sister Eurocup and Alps series. Eighth at the end of the season saw Hughes move to the Eurocup full time in 2015, with the Brit again competing in the Alps series at the same time. Hughes would ultimately finish second in the Alps series with three wins, while claiming sixth in the Eurocup.

Three Dreams: 2016 - 2020
For 2016 Hughes moved into the GP3 Series, signing with DAMS for their first season in the Championship. Two wins saw Hughes claim eighth in the Championship, with the Brit also taking part in one round of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Carlin. F3 Europe would serve as Hughes main source of entertainment for 2017, with the Brit going on to claim one win and fifth in the Championship.

A return to GP3 would follow for Hughes in 2018, with Hughes also plotting a campaign in the F3 Asian Championship in the second half of the season. Second in the latter series, as well as eighth in GP3, saw Hughes remain in GP3 for 2019, as the series was reforged as the FIA Formula 3 Championship that season. Again racing for a new team in the form of HWA Racelab, Hughes would improve to seventh in the Championship, again claiming one victory.

2020 saw Hughes open his campaign with another run in the F3 Asian Championship, although he would slip to fourteenth in the series. He paired that with another full campaign in the FIA F3 Championship, claiming two further wins in what was later announced to be his final F3 season. Hughes would also test for the Mercedes Formula E team at the 2020 Rookie Test.

Formula 2 History
Hughes got his first chance to race in the FIA Formula 2 Championship in the latter part of the 2020 season, being promoted to HWA Racelab's F2 team. The move came as a result of Giuliano Alesi leaving the team to join MP Motorsport, with Hughes' set to make his debut at the 2020 Sochi Feature Race.
