Driver changes edit
After collecting a total of 12 penalty points, Amaury Cordeel was suspended for the Silverstone round and was replaced by David Beckmann.[1] It was the first time in Formula 2 since 2019 that a driver was suspended for an entire weekend, following Mahaveer Raghunathan's ban in the 2019 Spielberg Formula 2 round due to repeatedly erratic driving.
Classification edit
Qualifying edit
Logan Sargeant took his maiden Formula 2 pole position, which was the first for Carlin since Yuki Tsunoda's pole at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. Sargeant qualified ahead of Frederik Vesti and championship leader Felipe Drugovich, who set the same time as championship rival Théo Pourchaire. Drugovich was given precedence, as he set the lap time first.[2]
