Formula 2 has announced an exciting expansion of its program for the upcoming round in Baku, including an additional race. This decision, arriving just ten days before the start of the race weekend, has generated significant excitement among fans.
This new setup will result in a double session weekend, which will feature an additional qualifying session and a feature race, along with the usual activities. Bruno Michel, CEO of Formula 2, has confirmed that the event will include a free practice session, two qualifying sessions, a sprint race, and two feature races.
The decision has been made at a time when the Formula 1 season still presents uncertainties, with the Grand Prix of Qatar and Abu Dhabi potentially at risk due to the complicated geopolitical situation in the Middle East region. Formula 2 organizers have opted for this expansion to take advantage of being the only support at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix event.
While the official reason for this expansion has not been specified, some experts see this decision as a way to compensate for the possible cancellation of the last races of the season, which could lead to a loss of significant points. Despite these uncertainties, it is expected that the season finale will remain in Abu Dhabi with the usual format.
The final decision on the next events of Formula 1 is expected by the end of the month, including possible race relocations such as the one in Bahrain, which could take place in Sepang, Malaysia, in early October.
