Luke has made a strong start to the 2025 Formula 2 campaign — but he certainly won’t be resting on his laurels in the weeks and months ahead.
The Hitech TGR driver finds himself in championship contention after six rounds of action, with just 14 points separating him from top spot in the standings.
He is fully aware of how close this year’s title race is likely to be, however, as the 23-year-old revealed in a recent interview with FiAFormula2.com.
Reflecting on the season so far, Luke said: “The Championship is very tight. I think the main thing to take into account is that we’re only six rounds in.
“We’re in a really good place, doing a good job but equally, not getting too caught up in that fact.
“I think it’s important to stay consistent — that’s the key. The way this Championship swings back and forth, it’s just so close.
“We’ll keep approaching it with the same mentality that we have been, and then we’ll just see where it is in the end.”
Luke’s performances have undoubtedly gone up a notch this term, after he failed to finish higher than sixth across six races with ART Grand Prix in 2024.
And the man from Kingsley attributes that improvement to a change in approach, alongside a more settled environment.
“Whether it’s just pure luck or if it’s the right positioning and actually just taking fewer risks and maybe taking some more calculated ones, it’s the points that matter,” he explained.
“I think that’s probably the biggest difference between last year and this one.
“It wasn’t as aligned as it has been this year. I think last year I struggled with an injury throughout the year that to be honest, hindered me quite a lot. We managed that the best we could.
“I’ve never felt as comfortable before in a team, or maybe I have, but I just think that the mindset and the approach that we have this year is the right one for the Championship, and it’s paying off.
“There’s a lot of different factors at play — my nutrition, the team I’ve got around me, the support network, it’s all connected.
“I had a new trainer last year, whereas this year it’s our second year working together, so we feel comfortable now.
“I’ve got the same engineer I had in Formula 3 going into a new wider engineering team in Formula 2.
“So that was similar, and he can relay the feedback that I have in a way that’s understandable from years of experience to the Formula 2 team. So it’s all very cohesive.”
The challenge now is to maintain an impressive start that has yielded 73 points and five podium finishes.
But Luke isn’t short of confidence when it comes to what he can achieve in the season’s remaining races.“Honestly, I think they’re going to be good weekends,” he enthused.
“I’m feeling very positive about the second half of the season. It’s where Paul [Aron — who raced for Hitech TGR in 2024] really came into his own and where the car and the preparation — it’s natural you know?
“Coming in for your first full year, you’re getting better and better and more comfortable, even though it’s the same team for me, it’s a different group of people I’m working with.
“I think I’m continuing to get better, which is counting for more the further into the year we go.
“I’m getting more comfortable to put it on the limit, and to go quicker and quicker.”
