Koiranen GP driver Nyck de Vries, in his second season of competing in Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and his third season in Formula Renault overall, dominated the championship from the opening round, clinching the overall championship title with a round to spare.[2] De Vries took nine overall wins during the season, with an additional class victory at Jerez, behind wildcard driver Bruno Bonifacio, who took the overall win. The remaining wins were shared between junior championship frontrunners Charles Leclerc and Matevos Isaakyan, who took doubles at Monza and the Red Bull Ring respectively. Leclerc prevailed in both championship battles; he beat Isaakyan by 19 points in the overall championship for second place, while Leclerc padded the advantage to 33 points for the junior championship honours. Koiranen GP comfortably won the teams' championship, finishing almost 150 points clear of the next best team, Fortec Motorsports.

Footnotes
  1. Charles Leclerc, Simon Gachet and George Russell recorded the fastest times in qualifying for the races at the Red Bull Ring, but they were penalised after a stewards' decision. Matevos Isaakyan was recognised as the pole-sitter for the races.[37]
  2. Isaakyan was entered for the opening round at Imola, but he was ineligible to compete in the races as he was not yet aged sixteen. However, he was able to take part in free practice sessions.[38]
