Despite retiring in the sprint race, Felipe Drugovich became the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Drivers' Champion with three races to spare. His nearest championship rival, Théo Pourchaire, finished in seventeenth and therefore failed to score the required four points in order to remain in contention for the title. Drugovich's championship victory was the first for an MP Motorsport driver in Formula 2.

Driver changes

Luca Ghiotto replaced Roy Nissany at DAMS, due to the Israeli driver receiving a race ban after exceeding the annual limit of twelve penalty points on his race licence following the Zandvoort round.[1]

Classification

Qualifying

Jack Doohan took his third pole position of his career by nearly two tenths, ahead of both Kiwi drivers Liam Lawson and Marcus Armstrong.[2]
