World Champion
F2 season will begin on saturday, i love the series i think a brilliant series, ive seen some quality drivers down the years before they were famous Gasly, Vandoorne, Bird, Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Albon, Schumacher & last years champion Piastri. bar 2021 i always used to say that F2 was becoming the highlight of weekend, because it was often better racing than we had later on in the day, best example was when everyone trashing Baku in 2016, after correctly 1 of the worst races of last decade. but i knew it had to be the cars not the circuit as earlier in the day id seen the arguably the race of the year
thankfully the F2 & F3 championships have now disregarded the new format they brought for last season, meant 2 sprint races & 1 feature races, which was dreadful you never saw who was the best driver for majority of the weekend & made the saturday sprint races almost pointless mainly damage limitation, meant the real pressure was in qualifying & feature race on the sunday & so this season we are back to 1 sprint & 1 feature, we still have to explain why the guy you saw yesterday qualify on pole, is starting 10th in the sprint race. because the Feature will remain on the Sunday for all rounds (bar probably Monaco but with Thursday F1 practise ditched im not sure what going to happen)
Points system has been overhauled this season to increase importance of Feature Race result, Pole Position is now 2 points, reduced from 4 last season. the Top 8 Saturdays Sprint Race, will now have the F1 points system of 2003 - 2009, 10 - 8 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1, Sunday’s Feature Race remains the same as in previous years. The top 10 will use the same Points System as F1 & a point in both races for driver who gets the fastest lap providing they are in the top 10
drivers movement from 2021 to 2022
