F2 – C2: Last victory for Charles Leclerc

Starting in pole position, Jordan King (MP Motorsport), completely misses his start 4e at the end of the first turn, leaving the controls of the race to Alexander albon (ARTGP). Charles Leclerc (Prema Racing), begins his comeback from 7e place on the rack.

Meanwhile, Oliver Rowland (DAMS), who started last after his disqualification from the first race, moves up to the driver level Russian Time in the top 10. The Monegasque took the opportunity to escape and come back on all the drivers one by one until reaching the podium at the start of the last third of the event.

Three laps from the end of the race, contact between Louis Delétraz (Rapax) and Nyck de Vries (Racing Engineering) forced the Swiss to retire, causing a yellow flag in the last sector and a ban on the use of DRS. This pushes Charles Leclerc into a muscular attack on Albon for the race lead, going as far as contact to win in the last event of the season.

Charles Leclerc wins his 7e victory of the year ahead of Alexander Albon and Nicholas latifi (DAMS). Nobuharu Matsushita (ART GP) finishes in 4e place ahead of the Russian Time of Luca Ghiotto and Artem Markelov who offered their team the Team title for their last season in F2.

Oliver Rowland finishes 7the starting last ahead of Sergio Sette Câmara (MP Motorsport). Returned to 9e place, Lando Norris (Campos) retrograde in 13e position after a 5 second penalty for not having respected the limits of the track. This propels Nyck de Vries into 9e place and Roberto Merhi (Rapax) finishes season 10e. Norman NATO (Arden) gave up.
