FIA Formula 2 Melbourne Feature Race Cancelled

Due to the adverse weather conditions in Melbourne, this morning’s FIA Formula 2 Feature Race has been cancelled.

The race had been scheduled to get underway at 11:30 local time, but following continuous rain hitting the track, it was initially Red Flagged. However, after an attempt to start, the decision was made to cancel the event as the heavy downpour continued.

With no racing laps completed, no points will be awarded, although ART Grand Prix driver Victor Martins will receive two points for starting from Pole Position.

FIA Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel stated:

“I feel sorry for the fans who wanted to see us race and also for our teams and drivers who came all the way to Melbourne, but safety takes precedence.

“We tried everything we could to make it happen, but ultimately, the track conditions were too dangerous, which the drivers confirmed over the radio, so the right call was to cancel. We focus now on Bahrain, which will take place on 11-13 of April.”
