Beckmann to replace Hughes for remainder of Formula 2 season

Van Amersfoort Racing has confirmed that David Beckmann will remain with the squad for the remainder of the Formula 2 season.

Beckmann joined VAR at Silverstone, in place of the suspended Amaury Cordeel, and returned to the squad for the most recent rounds at Paul Ricard and the Hungaroring, replacing Jake Hughes after he contracted Covid-19.

Ahead of the final four rounds of the campaign, the first of which takes place this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, VAR has opted to keep Beckmann in the #24 car.

In a statement VAR outlined that Hughes ‘has indicated [he wants] to increase his already strong involvement in Formula E’.
