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.

Feature race

- ^1 Nikita Mazepin originally finished in third place, but his defence against Yuki Tsunoda and Felipe Drugovich was considered as pushing of the track limits, which resulted to two five-second (10 seconds total) extra time penalty, and finally he was classified ninth.[5]
