Round 1: Bahrain Guanyu Zhou set the fastest time in qualifying at the
Bahrain International Circuit, giving him
pole position for the feature race.
Théo Pourchaire started the first sprint race from pole position by virtue of qualifying 10th, but he lost the lead to
Liam Lawson at the first corner and later retired with mechanical issues. Lawson held the lead for the rest of the race to claim victory on his Formula 2 debut.
Jüri Vips started the second sprint race from pole position after finishing the first race in 10th place, but was overtaken by Zhou in the early laps. The
safety car was brought out after Lawson and
Felipe Drugovich collided, and a number of drivers elected to make a pit stop.
Oscar Piastri, who started the race in sixth place, took the lead on the final lap to achieve his first Formula 2 race win. Second-placed
Christian Lundgaard was demoted to ninth by a penalty for colliding with
Lirim Zendeli, but was later reinstated to the podium after it emerged he had served his penalty during his pit stop. Lundgaard took the lead of the feature race at the first corner from pole-sitter Zhou, but was later overtaken by Piastri. A safety car caused by
Gianluca Petecof's fire extinguisher deploying allowed
Marcus Armstrong to take the lead after all drivers had completed their mandatory pit stops. The lead then passed between Piastri and
Richard Verschoor before Zhou, who was in sixth place after the pit stop phase, reclaimed first position with four laps remaining. Piastri was then eliminated from the race after colliding with
Dan Ticktum. Zhou took the
chequered flag to claim his first feature race victory in Formula 2. Zhou led the championship after the first round by 11 points over second-placed Liam Lawson.
Round 2: Monaco Théo Pourchaire was fastest in qualifying at the
Circuit de Monaco, with Guanyu Zhou starting the opening sprint race from pole position. Christian Lundgaard challenged for the lead until an engine failure halfway into the race forced his retirement, allowing Zhou to take his second consecutive race victory. The second sprint race was run in wet track conditions. A pre-race engine issue forced pole-sitter Marcus Armstrong to start the race from the pit lane. Liam Lawson therefore started from the front, but lost the lead to Oscar Piastri at the first corner before retaking first place a few laps later. UNI-Virtuosi were the only team to change to dry-weather tyres, but Zhou and Felipe Drugovich lost large amounts of time before pitting again and returning to wet-weather tyres. Lawson crossed the finish line first, but was later disqualified for a technical infringement. Dan Ticktum, who had earlier passed Piastri for second place, was awarded the victory. Pole-sitter Pourchaire controlled the feature race to become the youngest driver to win an FIA Formula 2 race.
Robert Shwartzman had qualified and ran in second place before a slow pit stop dropped him out of the podium positions. Ticktum was forced into retirement in the closing laps after coming to a halt whilst battling Piastri for third place. After the second round, Zhou had extended his lead in the championship to 16 points over second-placed Piastri.
Round 3: Azerbaijan Liam Lawson set the fastest qualifying time at the
Baku City Circuit and Robert Shwartzman started the first race from pole position. Shwartzman controlled the race to take his first podium and victory of the season, whilst Lawson and Oscar Piastri were eliminated on the first lap due to an accident caused by Felipe Drugovich. The podium was completed by Dan Ticktum, who had overtaken four cars throughout the race, including third-placed finisher Guanyu Zhou.
Bent Viscaal started the second race, the 100th FIA Formula 2 race, on pole position. Six drivers retired from the race, including championship leader Zhou after colliding with Ticktum at the first corner.
David Beckmann took the lead from Viscaal early on, but was later passed by Jüri Vips, who claimed his first Formula 2 race win. Lawson, Piastri and Ticktum all recovered to score points after being at the back of the grid on the opening lap. Vips took the lead of the feature race from Lawson at the first corner. Vips' frontrunning rivals were unable to challenge him due to penalties and collisions; Lawson was issued a time penalty for an aggressive defence against Théo Pourchaire, and Ticktum was penalised after a collision that eliminated Marcus Armstrong and Pourchaire from the race. Pourchaire was later taken to hospital with a fractured arm. Second-placed Piastri was later handed a time penalty for an unsafe release in the pits. Vips took the chequered flag to claim his second consecutive victory. Despite failing to score in the feature or second sprint races, Zhou maintained the lead of the championship after the third round, albeit with his advantage over Piastri cut to five points.
Round 4: United Kingdom Oscar Piastri topped qualifying at
Silverstone Circuit and Christian Lundgaard started on reverse-grid pole position for the first sprint race. Robert Shwartzman, who started the race in fourth place, took the lead before the first corner and held his position to take his second win of the season. Guanyu Zhou spun on the first lap and retired from the race, allowing Piastri to take the championship lead. Richard Verschoor started on pole position for the second sprint race and controlled the race to claim his first Formula 2 victory. The race was interrupted by two safety car periods, the first coming after a heavy collision between
Alessio Deledda and
Ralph Boschung. Marcus Armstrong finished second to claim his first podium finish of the season. Zhou took the lead of the feature race from pole-sitter Piastri before the first corner. Dan Ticktum later passed Piastri during the pit stops, and Piastri successfully defended third place after battling Verschoor on the final lap. Piastri held the championship lead at the conclusion of the fourth round, five points ahead of Zhou.
Round 5: Italy Oscar Piastri took a second pole position in qualifying at the
Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, beating
Jehan Daruvala by 0.041 seconds. David Beckmann took reverse-grid pole position for the opening sprint race but lost the lead to Jüri Vips at the first corner. The race was interrupted by a safety car due to a collision between Dan Ticktum and Felipe Drugovich. Vips was later passed by Théo Pourchaire who took his second Formula 2 victory. Beckmann again claimed reverse-grid pole position for the second sprint race, but was again passed at the first corner, this time by Daruvala. Daruvala controlled the race to take his first win of the season. The podium was completed by
Bent Viscaal, who claimed
Trident's first ever Formula 2 podium finish, and Robert Shwartzman. Pole-sitter Piastri maintained his lead at the start of the feature race. The safety car was deployed after Vips stopped on track with a mechanical issue and Ticktum took the lead by electing not to make a pit stop. A second safety car period came later in the race when Liam Lawson broke down, allowing Piastri to regain the lead as Ticktum pitted. Ticktum moved from tenth place up to third in the closing laps with his fresh tyres, however his progress was halted as the race ended under the safety car due to a collision between Beckmann and Viscaal. This ensured Piastri would take his first Formula 2 feature race victory to extend his championship lead to 15 points over Guanyu Zhou.
Round 6: Russia Oscar Piastri took yet another pole position beating Jehan Daruvala yet again. Sprint Race 1 was postponed to Sprint Race 2 timing and Sprint Race 2 was cancelled due to heavy rains. Dan Ticktum took reverse grid pole and controlled the race from start to finish, leading Juri Vips and Robert Shwartzman, while the top 2 in the championship did not score points at all. Oscar Piastri took his second consecutive Feature Race to extend his championship lead. He led Pouchaire and Daruvala. Daruvala pressured Boschung into a lock-up taking the place. Championship contender Zhou only finished sixth.
Round 7: Saudi Arabia Oscar Piastri took his 4th pole position in a row beating his teammate, Robert Shwartzman. Marcus Armstrong took the win in Sprint 1. Oscar Piastri reclaimed the top of the podium in Sprint 2, and he ended up taking his third consectutive Feature Race to continue to extend his championship lead.
Round 8: Abu Dhabi Oscar Piastri once again took pole position, making it 5 consecutive feature race starts from first on the grid. He won his fourth consecutive Feature Race to conclude his championship season. ==Results and standings==
