So we have 14 spaces left for F2 2021 season… it will be interesting to see who gets announced next, especially after the fact that Mick Schumacher, Yuki Tsunoda and Nikita Mazepin all got promoted to F1 for this year.
The FIA Formula 2 championship promoters announced in December that these eleven teams above have been selected for 2021-2023 seasons, the same teams which competed in the 2020 season.
Formula 2 have eight races for this year, it will have three races per weekend the weekend format is the following: Friday sessions, you have one free practice session of 45 minutes and then a qualifying session of 30 minutes. Saturday will have two sprint races. The feature race will now take place on a Sunday morning before Formula One.
Some may think well what about starting grids? That is all sorted… The results from Fridays qualifying will be the starting grid for the feature race on a Sunday. The starting grid of Saturdays sprint race 1 will be determined by reversing the top 10 finishers of Fridays qualifying session results. Finally, Saturdays sprint race 2 will be determined by reversing the top 10 finishers of sprint race 1.
Personally I think this is such a good idea, it makes the championship more exciting by reversing the top 10 round, i am looking forward to the F2 season this year and seeing who else gets announced. The first race for the Formula Two Championship is the 26th-28th March at Sakhir, Bahrain.
