From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 2026 Lusail Formula 2 round)

Nikola Tsolov currently leads the Drivers' Championship, while his team, Campos Racing, leads the Teams' Championship.

The 2026 FIA Formula 2 Championship is a motor racing championship for Formula 2 cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The championship is the sixtieth season of Formula 2 racing and the tenth season run under the FIA Formula 2 Championship moniker. Formula 2 is an open-wheel racing category serving as the second tier of formula racing in the FIA Global Pathway. The category is run in support of selected rounds of the 2026 Formula One World Championship. As the championship is a spec series, all teams and drivers competing in the championship run the same car, the Dallara F2 2024.

Invicta Racing entered the championship as the reigning Teams' Champions, having secured their title at the final race of the previous season in Abu Dhabi.

Season report

[edit source]

Round 1: Australia

[edit source]

The season-opener at Albert Park Circuit began with Dino Beganovic qualifying on pole position followed by Martinius Stenshorne in second and Alex Dunne in third. Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak started the reverse-grid sprint race from pole position by virtue of having qualified tenth. Third-place starter Oliver Goethe gained a position from Joshua Dürksen at the start, but later lost the place and then spun out. Dürksen then overtook Inthraphuvasak for the lead on lap two. On lap fifteen, Mari Boya crashed and brought out the safety car. Noel León, who started seventh but had improved to third place, overtook Inthraphuvasak for second shortly after racing resumed. Inthraphuvasak was then passed by Stenshorne and Dunne in the closing laps, however Stenshorne was demoted from the podium with a penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, promoting Dunne to third. Dürksen claimed his fifth Formula 2 race win and León achieved a podium in his debut Formula 2 race.

In the feature race, a slow start from pole-sitter Beganovic dropped him to fifth place at the first corner. A collision between teammates Stenshorne and Dunne on lap three eliminated both drivers from the race and allowed Nikola Tsolov into the lead. Most drivers were running the softest tyre compound and thus made pit stops in the early laps. After the pit stops, Tsolov maintained his position with Rafael Câmara behind. Beganovic had recovered from his poor start and overtook Câmara on lap fifteen, but soon stopped on-track with a mechanical failure, causing a safety car deployment. Race leader Nico Varrone, who was yet to pit, made his tyre change under the safety car conditions and emerged in first place. Varrone was unable to hold the lead for long and soon received a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, dropping him outside the points. Tsolov crossed the finish line to take his first Formula 2 victory, followed by Câmara and 11th-place starter Laurens van Hoepen, who both achieved their first Formula 2 podium finishes. Tsolov's victory put him in the lead of the championship after the first round, seven points ahead of Câmara in second.

Round 2: United States

[edit source]

The championship's debut appearance at the Miami International Autodrome began with Kush Maini on pole position and Rafael Câmara and Martinius Stenshorne qualifying second and third respectively. Nikola Tsolov started the sprint race from first place ahead of Laurens van Hoepen. Joshua Dürksen improved from fourth to second in the early laps but later dropped positions. Van Hoepen and Tsolov then fought for the lead during the second half of the race; van Hoepen took the position on the final lap but Tsolov reclaimed the place in the final few corners. Tsolov achieved his second consecutive victory and van Hoepen a second consecutive podium finish. Alex Dunne, who started seventh, completed the podium.

The feature race took place in wet conditions. Stenshorne overtook Câmara for second place at the start, although Stenshorne was soon required to serve a stop-go penalty for a procedural infringement by his team, promoting Dürksen to third place. Tsolov and Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak collided at the first corner, eliminating Tsolov from the race and bringing out the safety car. A crash for Dunne on lap 10 caused another safety car deployment, eliminating the lead built by polesitter Maini. Most drivers now made pit stops and Câmara was able to exit the pit lane ahead of Maini. Dürksen now led the race as one of the few drivers not to pit, but dropped out of the podium positions when he stopped later. Maini soon lost further positions to Dino Beganovic (who had started 11th but gained a number of positions on the first lap), Noel León and Gabriele Minì. On the penultimate lap, Beganovic challenged Câmara for the lead but their battle allowed Minì to close in. Minì soon passed both drivers to take his first Formula 2 race win, with Beganovic second and Câmara third. Minì's victory promoted him to second in the Drivers' Championship, one point behind Tsolov.

Round 3: Canada

[edit source]

The championship made its first appearance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Qualifying set up a competitive grid, with the reverse-grid sprint placing Noel León on pole. In the sprint race León controlled a chaotic 28-lap contest that featured multiple Safety Car periods and a late Virtual Safety Car. He resisted early pressure and managed the restarts cleanly to take his maiden Formula 2 victory by 3.7 seconds. Gabriele Minì finished second, with Martinius Stenshorne third for Rodin Motorsport. Laurens van Hoepen, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr., Dino Beganovic, Rafael Câmara and Roman Bilinski completed the points-paying positions. Several drivers received penalties for incidents or track limits, shuffling the midfield order. The feature race produced a strong result for Rodin Motorsport. Stenshorne converted a solid strategy into victory ahead of teammate Alex Dunne, with Minì third. Nikola Tsolov recovered to fourth, while Sebastián Montoya and Cian Shields also scored. The weekend left the Drivers’ Championship tightly contested, with Minì, Câmara and Tsolov all within a handful of points of one another and Campos Racing beginning to assert itself at the top of the Teams’ Championship.

Round 4: Monaco

[edit source]

Street-circuit racing in Monte Carlo brought the usual combination of precision and attrition. Rafael Câmara took pole for the feature race. Noel León started the reverse-grid sprint from pole and converted it into a controlled victory, holding off Roman Bilinski and Gabriele Minì. Joshua Dürksen, Dino Beganovic and Martinius Stenshorne filled the next places. The race remained relatively processional by Monaco standards once the field settled, with limited overtaking opportunities. The feature race delivered more drama. Câmara led early but came under sustained pressure from Nikola Tsolov. A critical error by the Brazilian allowed Tsolov to seize the lead; the Campos driver then controlled the remainder of the race to take victory and the fastest-lap point. Alex Dunne finished a strong second, while Dino Beganovic snatched third from Kush Maini on the final lap. The result left Minì and Tsolov separated by a single point at the head of the Drivers’ Championship, with Campos Racing extending its Teams’ lead.

Round 5: Spain (Barcelona)

[edit source]

At Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Rafael Câmara secured pole position ahead of teammate Joshua Dürksen, giving Invicta Racing a front-row lockout. In the sprint race Kush Maini made an excellent start from second on the reverse grid and led from the first corner. He pulled away to win by more than seven seconds. Gabriele Minì finished second and Nikola Tsolov third after a late battle that also involved Colton Herta, who ultimately dropped out of the podium places. Noel León, Câmara and Beganovic completed the top six. The feature race was decided by strategy. Câmara’s team executed an alternative pit-stop plan that allowed him to jump the field and claim his maiden Formula 2 victory. Tsolov finished second on the road (later adjusted by a post-race penalty in some classifications), with Alex Dunne third and Minì fourth. Laurens van Hoepen, Beganovic and John Benett also scored strongly. The weekend tightened the championship further, with Tsolov and Minì remaining the primary protagonists while Câmara and Dunne closed the gap.

Round 6: Austria (Speilberg)

[edit source]

High temperatures and tyre management played a significant role at the Red Bull Ring. Noel León took pole position. The reverse-grid sprint saw John Bennett (Trident) convert a strong starting position into victory. Sebastián Montoya finished second and Rafael Villagómez third. Alex Dunne, Minì and Roman Bilinski also scored points in a race that featured several on-track battles in the midfield. In the feature race Tsolov delivered a composed drive from third on the grid to take victory. Minì finished second and Oliver Goethe third for MP Motorsport. Câmara, Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Dunne completed the top six. The result briefly saw Minì lead the championship before Tsolov reasserted himself at the top of the standings. Campos Racing continued to pull clear in the Teams’ Championship.

Round 7: United Kingdom (Silverstone)

[edit source]

Home soil for several drivers produced one of the most dominant individual performances of the season. Nikola Tsolov won the sprint race in commanding fashion, leading every lap and finishing ahead of Gabriele Minì and Rafael Villagómez. Kush Maini, Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Dino Beganovic completed the top six. In the feature race Tsolov completed a record-breaking hat-trick of consecutive race wins — the first driver to achieve three successive victories in the modern Formula 2 era. He controlled the race from the front, with Villagómez second and Maini third. Alex Dunne and Câmara rounded out the top five. Noel León scored solid points in seventh. Tsolov left Silverstone with a significantly expanded championship lead, while Campos Racing further strengthened its position at the top of the Teams’ standings.

Round 8: Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps)

[edit source]

The high-speed Spa-Francorchamps circuit delivered another tight contest. Joshua Dürksen (Invicta Racing) won the sprint race ahead of Martinius Stenshorne and Dino Beganovic. Tsolov, Alex Dunne and Câmara also scored points in a race that featured several close battles through the midfield. In the feature race Rafael Câmara converted pole position into a dominant victory, completing a strong weekend for Invicta Racing. Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak finished second and Tsolov third. Dunne was classified fourth after penalties affected other runners, with Minì fifth. Câmara closed the gap in the Drivers’ Championship, but Tsolov retained a clear lead heading into the final round before the summer break.
