Report

Yuki Tsunoda collected another pole ahead of feature race, outpacing Nikita Mazepin by 0.122 seconds. Qualifying session was ended preliminary after the contact between Mick Schumacher and Roy Nissany.[1] Tsunoda lost the lead after the first turn but was able to restore his lead after the pit stop and won the race ahead of Guanyu Zhou and Mazepin.[2] But Mazepin was penalised after two incidents where his defence was recognised as forcing of Tsunoda and Felipe Drugovich, who became a last podium finisher instead of Mazepin.[3]

With Callum Ilott not being able to outscore Mick Schumacher by 14 points, Schumacher won the 2020 Formula 2 Championship.

Ralph Boschung replaced Jack Aitken for this round as Aitken moves to Williams to debut in 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix instead of George Russell, who will move to Mercedes instead of reigning F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, who got positive COVID-19 test.
