The2014 GP2 Series season was the forty-eighth season of the second-tier ofFormula One feeder championship and also tenth season under theGP2 Series moniker, a support series to the2014Formula One World Championship.Russian Time were the defending team champions.^[1]

In his fourth season in the series,DAMS driverJolyon Palmer won the championship title after a consistent season, with points-scoring finishes in 20 of the campaign's 22 races. He won four races – joint-most for the season, along withStoffel Vandoorne andFelipe Nasr – and achieved twelve podium finishes, en route to the title, which he won inRussia.^[2] The battle for the runner-up position in the championship standings was not decided until the final race of the season, between Vandoorne and Nasr.^[3] It was ultimately settled in favour of Vandoorne, by five points, after a fifth-place finish compared to Nasr's second-place finish. Vandoorne, a rookie in the series after moving fromFormula Renault 3.5, had started the season with a victory in his first start inBahrain,^[4] and also won at theHungaroring,Monza,^[5] andAbu Dhabi.^[6] After two winless years in the series, Nasr took his first GP2 victory in his 50th start, inMontmeló.^[7] He also achieved wins at theRed Bull Ring,^[8]Silverstone,^[9] andSpa-Francorchamps,^[10] before his graduation to Formula One for the2015 season.^[11]

A trio of double race-winners filled positions four, five and six in the final drivers' championship standings.Mitch Evans – driving for defending teams' champions RT Russian Time – was another first-time winner in the series, taking back-to-back feature race victories at Silverstone andHockenheim, the latter from 15th on the grid. Fifth place went toJohnny Cecotto Jr. for theTrident team, recording his best season in the series, which included victories in Montmeló and Spielberg.Racing Engineering driverStefano Coletti completed the championship top six, with sprint race victories at Hockenheim and Abu Dhabi. Four other drivers won on one occasion, and for each, was their first GP2 victory.Stéphane Richelmi won the sprint race, for DAMS, on home soil inMonaco, matching Coletti's feat from theprevious season. RookiesArthur Pic (Campos Racing) andRaffaele Marciello (Racing Engineering) won the feature races at the Hungaroring and Spa-Francorchamps respectively, whileMarco Sørensen achieved the first victory forMP Motorsport, with sprint race success in Sochi.

DAMS were the winners of the teams' championship for the second time in three seasons – after a similar title sweep withDavide Valsecchi winning the drivers' championship in2012 – finishing 57 points clear of closest competitors,Carlin.ART Grand Prix finished a further 37 points in arrears, completing the championship top trio.

The 2013 season was originally proposed to be the last season with the third-generation GP2 chassis, theDallara GP2/11, which was introduced in2011, but it was decided that the series would continue to use this chassis for a further three years in order to avoid a leap in costs to the competitors.^[12] The series continued to use tyres provided byPirelli.^[13]

Free practice sessions were extended from 30 to 45 minutes long.^[14] Drivers were required to use both the harder "Prime" and softer "Option" tyre compounds during a Feature Race – unless declared a wet race – mirroring the rules of Formula One.^[14] Previously, drivers had been free to use both compounds as they saw fit, provided both were used over the course of a race meeting.
