A brilliant sprint race victory from first-time winner Noel Leon marked Formula 2′s official debut in Canada. The Mexican driver showcased a clinical performance from lights out to the chequered flag, overcoming immense pressure from their rivals and several Safety Car restarts. Behind him, Gabriele Mini and Martinius Stenshorne rounded out the first-ever F2 podium in Canada. Following yesterday’s qualifying session, both Camara and Alex Dunne were awarded three-place grid penalties for impeding. Despite finishing second and third, respectively, the pair will carry the penalty in both races this weekend, changing their races and strategy. Ollie Goethe will start both races from P21 as his fastest time was deleted, demoting him to the back of the grid due to causing a Red Flag. ART’s Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak withdrew from the Canadian Grand Prix weekend following a heavy collision with the wall in qualifying. Lining up on the reverse-grid front row were Gabriele Mini and Rafael Villagomez. Mini, sitting second in the championship, aims to capitalize with Championship Leader Nikola Tsolov starting in seventh and Camara in 12th, making a solid race crucial for the championship.
