Report

Callum Ilott continued to score poles, outpacing Robert Shwartzman in the Barcelona Qualifying.[1] 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, while Shwartzman and Guanyu Zhou completed the podium.[2] Gelael was injured after collision with Jack Aitken on the final lap, resulting his missing in the sprint race and the four further race weekends.

Ilott wasn't able again to convert pole into the race victory in the sprint race. While Matsushita's teammate Felipe Drugovich won the race ahead of Luca Ghiotto and Mick Schumacher.[3]
