Report

Lundgaard achieved his first pole position in qualifying, but he was not successful in the race. For the first time since 2018 Sakhir Formula 2 round a team scored a one-two in the feature race with Mazepin first and Ghiotto second. Ghiotto also broke the record for the most podiums in Formula 2 history with 24. Both Ilott and Shwartzman failed to score points in the feature race, while Schumacher, by finishing in fifth, led the championship for the first time.^[1]

The sprint race was won by Lundgaard ahead of Louis Delétraz and Jüri Vips. This was Vips' first podium in Formula 2. Finishing ahead of his closest rivals Ilott and Shwartzman, Mick Schumacher extended his championship lead.^[2]
