The 2020 Mugello FIA Formula 2 round was a pair of motor races for Formula 2 cars that took place on 12-13 September 2020 at the Mugello Circuit in Mugello, Italy as part of the FIA Formula 2 Championship. It was the ninth round of the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship and ran in support of the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix.

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]
