Calendar changes

The Circuit Paul Ricard round that was run in support of the French Grand Prix was removed from the calendar. It was replaced by a round at the Circuit Zandvoort, running in support of the revived Dutch Grand Prix.[34] The Bahrain and Barcelona rounds were postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the Zandvoort, Monaco and Baku rounds were cancelled alongside the Dutch, Monaco and Azerbaijan Grands Prix.[36][33][32] A revised calendar was published in June 2020, featuring two rounds at the Red Bull Ring and two at the Silverstone Circuit.[35] On 10 July 2020, Mugello was added as the ninth round of the season. It was the first time for this circuit to be featured in the schedule of the main Formula One feeder series since the 1997 International Formula 3000 Championship.[37] On 29 July 2020, Sochi was added to the calendar as the tenth round of the season.[38] The championship is scheduled to use the Outer Circuit layout for the season finale at Bahrain.

Regulation changes

Technical changes
  • The championship switched from conventional 13-inch wheel rims to larger 18-inch wheel rims to allow Formula One tyre partner Pirelli to gather data on how the larger tyres would work ahead of Formula One's adoption of 18-inch wheels in 2022. In addition the Pirelli FIA Formula 2 Championship tyre sizes were also slightly altered with the front tyre width increased from 245 to 275 mm (9.6 to 10.8 in) while the rear tyre width remained same at 325 mm (12.8 in). The overall tyre diameter (front and rear) sizes were increased from 660 to 705 mm (26.0 to 27.8 in) as a result of 18-inch wheel rim introduction.[39] The conventional 13-inch wheel rims that had been used since 2005 were retired.

Season report

Guanyu Zhou started the season opener at the Red Bull Ring from pole position but suffered technical issues whilst leading the race, allowing his UNI-Virtuosi teammate Callum Ilott to take his first Formula 2 victory.[40] The sprint race was won by MP Motorsport driver Felipe Drugovich on his debut Formula 2 weekend.

Yuki Tsunoda took pole position for the second feature race in Austria, but made a late pit stop due to miscommunication with his Carlin team, losing track position. He recovered to second place but was unable to overtake Prema Racing's Robert Shwartzman, who took his first Formula 2 victory and the championship lead.[41] Tsunoda and Shwartzman both retired from the sprint race, Tsunoda with a suspected clutch issue and Shwartzman after spinning on the opening lap. ART Grand Prix driver Christian Lundgaard overtook reverse-grid pole sitter Dan Ticktum to claim his first Formula 2 victory.[42]

Ilott scored pole position in the wet qualifying at the Hungaroring.[43] But he was not able to convert his pole to a race win due to a less effective tire strategy. Shwartzman, who passed five drivers on start, took the race victory, after starting from eleventh place on the grid.[44] Ilott started the reverse-grid race from pole and finished second. This time Luca Ghiotto was the fastest driver to choose the alternative strategy which lead him to his sixth win in Formula 2.

Felipe Drugovich brought first F2 pole to MP Motorsport in the first round at Silverstone.[45] But his decision to start on the harder compound of tires lead to his losing of the three positions during the first lap. Nikita Mazepin took his first win, while Hitech Grand Prix became the first team to win with both drivers.[46] Ticktum led the whole sprint race which he started from the reverse-grid pole to achieve his first victory.[47]

Ilott returned to the pole position for the second Silverstone round feature race.[48] Ilott reclaimed the championship lead from Shwartzman after he won the race.[49] Tsunoda scored his first race win after collision between Mick Schumacher and Shwartzman, who was ahead of him, in the sprint race.[50]

Ilott continued to score poles, outpacing Shwartzman in the Barcelona Qualifying.[51] Nobuharu Matsushita was the only driver who had a pit-stop during the safety car period after Sean Gelael and Giuliano Alesi tangled. It helped Matsushita to achieve win after start from the 18th on the grid, which as 2020 Barcelona Formula 2 round is the farthest starting position to take a race win in the history of FIA Formula 2 Championship.[52]

Tsunoda returned to the pole position of the feature race at Spa.[53] Mazepin crossed the finish line first in the race but he was handed a five-seconds time penalty for forcing Tsunoda off the track multiple times.[54] Shwartzman benefited from his good start and collision between Ticktum and Roy Nissany, reclaiming the championship lead from Ilott with the sprint race win.[55]

Ilott repeated his previous year success in Monza qualifying, grabbing another pole.[56] But pit stop struggles left him without of chance of podium. The race was won by Schumacher, who was victorious in the feature race for the first time.[57] He was accompanied by Ghiotto and Lundgaard on podium. In the sprint race Ticktum crossed the finish line first after dominating the race, but he was disqualified due to a lack of fuel. Ilott inherited the win and retook the lead in the championship from Shwartzman.[58][59]

Lundgaard achieved his first pole position in the Mugello qualifying, but he was not successful in the race. For the first time since 2018 Sakhir Formula 2 round the team scored their one-two with Mazepin first and Ghiotto second. Both Ilott and Shwartzman have not scored points in the feature race, while Schumacher who finished fifth became a championship leader for the first time.[60] The sprint race was won by Lundgaard ahead of Louis Delétraz, Jüri Vips and Schumacher. This was Vips' first podium in Formula 2. Finishing ahead of his closest rivals, Ilott and Shwartzman, Schumacher extended his championship lead.

In Sochi Tsunoda started the feature race from pole position. He held on to the lead from the start ahead of Schumacher and Jehan Daruvala. During the round of pitstops Daruvala lost third place to Ilott. A few laps later, just as the cars who started the race on the harder compound of tyres, Schumacher passed Tsunoda for the lead. Ilott later passed him as well but the Japanese recovered second place from him in the closing stages of the race, while Ilott only narrowly fended off Luca Ghiotto for third place. Meanwhile Schumacher won his second feature race of the season. In the sprint race Zhou started from pole position. He held on to the lead ahead of Jack Aitken. Aitken would be later passed by Mazepin and Schumacher. During lap 7 Aitken and Ghiotto made contact while battling for fourth place and crashed into the barriers heavily. The race was suspended because of the incident and ultimately could not be resumed due the barriers not being able to be repaired in time. This allowed Zhou to secure his first win, with Mazepin and Schumacher completing the podium. Because of the early suspension only half points were awarded. Schumacher extended his championship lead by virtue of his two podiums. For the 11th qualifying of the season, Callum Ilott took pole position, but he was unable convert pole to victory. He finished second, 10 seconds behind race winner Felipe Drugovich. Schumacher started 10th, but finished 4th behind Jehan Daruvala, who scored his first F2 podium. In the sprint race, Robert Shwartzman won the race. He was followed by his countrymate Nikita Mazepin, who finished second. Louis Deletraz, by pitting under safety car, come from 14th in the grid to 3rd. Schumacher finished 7th, as Ilott did not score points after collision with Daruvala ruined his race, and he was taken by a drive-through penalty and without any points. For the final round, Jack Aitken replaced George Russell at Williams, with Russell was driving the Mercedes car instead of positive COVID-19 test for champion Lewis Hamilton. For the final qualifying session, pole was taken by Yuki Tsunoda. He won the feature race and his teammate Jehan Daruvala won the sprint. In first race, Ilott finished 5th as Schumacher finished 6th with a fastest lap after comeback from 17th because of the collision with Roy Nissany in qualifying. Behind race winner Daruvala and second-placed Tsunoda, Dan Ticktum finished 3rd. Schumacher pitted and dropped to 18th, but Ilott finsihed only 10th. That would mean, that Mick Schumacher became champion. Both Schumacher and 5th placed in the championship Nikita Mazepin would go to Haas F1 Team next season. Yuki Tsunoda also would go to Formula 1, after signing with Alpha Tauri. His teammate would be Pierre Gasly, who won the 2020 Italian Grand Prix. Also he won Anthoine Hubert Award as a best rookie of the season.
