Drivers' Championship
Brazilian racing driver Felipe Drugovich had already won the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Drivers' Championship in Monza, having extended an unassailable 77-point lead over his closest rival, Théo Pourchaire.[3]
During the weekend of the
Teams' Championship
Driver changes
Van Amersfoort Racing driver David Beckmann was replaced by Juan Manuel Correa, who returned to Formula 2 for the first time since his accident in 2019.[9]
Qualifying
Qualifying was red-flagged twice. The first red flag was deployed seven minutes into the session, after Virtuosi driver Marino Sato spun out at Turn 14.[10] Sato was unable to set a qualifying time within the 107% rule, but was granted permission by the stewards to start the race after setting acceptable times in practice.[11] The session was green-flagged after a five-minute delay.[12]
Despite having an earlier lap time deleted for track limits,
Sprint race
Richard Verschoor started the sprint race from pole, but was overtaken by eventual sprint race winner Liam Lawson on Lap 10. Felipe Drugovich made up four places from seventh place on the grid to finish in third. Dennis Hauger finished in fourth, while Amaury Cordeel secured his best Formula 2 finish in fifth place. Logan Sargeant held on to his starting position of sixth, despite dropping down to ninth on the opening lap; a red flag, deployed after Enzo Fittipaldi and Jehan Daruvala collided at Turn 3, enabled Sargeant to return to his original starting position for the rolling restart. Jack Doohan finished in seventh, unable to overtake Sargeant despite the American driver having a flat-spotted left front tyre. Roy Nissany was the final points finisher in eighth place.[13][14]
Feature race
A marginally quicker pit stop allowed Lawson to overtake Hauger in the pit lane on Lap 8, allowing the Carlin driver to assume a net position of third, behind Iwasa and Drugovich. Jack Doohan pit on Lap 26, having been one of the few drivers starting on medium compound tyres; however, his front left tyre detached following his pit stop, forcing him to retire from the race and triggering another virtual safety car.[16] Théo Pourchaire suffered a terminal mechanical issue after hitting a bird with four laps to go, causing him to retire from the race. Hauger and Logan Sargeant finished fourth and fifth respectively, with Amaury Cordeel, Richard Verschoor, Jüri Vips, Marcus Armstrong and Nissany the rest of the points finishers. Nissany received a five-second time penalty for track limits, dropping him down from his on-track finishing position of seventh.[15]
