Qualifying

edit

The qualifying session was held on 25 March 2022. Felipe Drugovich took pole position, the second of his Formula 2 career. The qualifying session was marred by three red flags. The first red flag came out for Théo Pourchaire, whose car broke down. A second red flag was flown after Logan Sargeant crashed heavily at the exit of turn 17. Oddly, a third red flag was shown due to a technical error after GPS systems indicated that Frederik Vesti stopped on track, despite no such event occurring.[1] In addition, Cem Bölükbaşı crashed in practice and was taken to hospital for precautionary checks, and as a result missed qualifying. He was later withdrawn from the event.[2]

Jack Doohan was later disqualified from the final classification for failing to provide the minimum 0.8 kg fuel sample.[3] Jüri Vips, Olli Caldwell, and Frederik Vesti each received three-place grid penalties for impeding. Clément Novalak received a five-place grid penalty for what the race stewards deemed to be a "dangerous case of impeding."[4] Amaury Cordeel received a ten-place grid penalty for failing to slow for the red flag and double waved yellow flags.[5]
