Formula 2 Championship races to an electrifying finish this weekend in Abu Dhabi as it heads towards its grand finale of 2024 season. As title is still up for grabs and excitement among fans and competitors alike is high; fans are guaranteed an action-packed weekend full of high speed drama!
Contenders Eyeing the Coveted F2 Championship Title
F2 Drivers’ Championship title contenders Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto and Paul Aron will do battle in Abu Dhabi as each seeks to seal victory after an intensely competitive campaign.
Action kicks off on Friday, setting the stage for the crowning of the new Formula 2 champion by Sunday’s end, following the Feature Race. The trio, though leading the charge, aren’t the only racers on the track, and dynamics with the rest of the field could very well influence the championship’s outcome.
The Ultimate Test at Abu Dhabi’s Grand Finale
This year’s Formula 2 has been unpredictable, thanks to a mix of new cars, fresh talent, and a diversified pool of winners across 14 rounds and 28 races. The Yas Marina Circuit, known for its nail-biting finishes, poses a unique set of challenges and opportunities for the title contenders.
Tyre strategy will play a crucial role throughout the weekend, especially during the Feature Race, where mandatory pit stops add an extra layer of tactical depth. Competitors must choose between starting on Supersofts for an aggressive early push or opting for Medium tyres for longevity, possibly leveraging a late-race safety car for an upset.
Championship Standings Set the Stage for a Thrilling Finale
Entering the final round, Gabriel Bortoleto leads with a slim margin of 0.5 points over Isack Hadjar, with Paul Aron still in contention despite trailing. The season has been particularly intense, reflecting in the tight point gaps among the leaders.
Bortoleto hopes to solidify his transition into Formula 1 with Sauber by winning the F2 championship; Hadjar looks to assert himself within Red Bull; Aron has seen recent improvements that make him an intriguing dark horse candidate in this year’s title race.
Race Weekend Schedule
Abu Dhabi will host its championship climactic weekend starting Friday, December 6 and concluding with Sunday’s Feature Race – qualifying sessions and practice runs will set the scene for what should be an incredible conclusion to 2024 Formula 2 season.
